Or just flying is cheap and easy so we don't have a masochistic fixation on choo-choos. There's only a couple places in America where trains even work in theory, and yeah they should have better ones.

> is cheap and easy Are you sincerely telling me you'd honestly rather prepare to leave 5+ hours before your departure, drive 30+ km to the middle of nowhere, arrive at the airport 3+ hours before your departure, only to wait in multiple queues and be violated by the TSA, and then stuff yourself along with hundreds of others in a metal tube 10 km in the air and suffer possible ear ache, lousy service, irritating passengers, etc etc? > choo-choos European, Japanese, and Chinese high speed railways are far from 'choo-choos'. You can get first-class service on the ground for the price you pay for a cramped economy seat on almost all carriers.
