Not just the west. I live in Jacksonville, FL, an 8 hour drive to New Orleans, and just 6 to Atlanta, but I'd need to go through Washington DC to get to Atlanta or through Chicago if I wanted to get to New Orleans (on a train the whole way).
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoThey still have routes through all of those cities, and the reason it's circuitous to get from Jacksonville to New Orleans is that there's a line that goes directly there but it's suspended. They're making efforts to restore it, but the process is unsurprisingly full of politics and bureaucracy.
- cool_dude85 3y agoThe line is "suspended" since Hurricane Katrina hit NO and even with the new infrastructure funding is not set to be re-opened. 18 years later it's fair to say we've moved past "suspended".
