Americans love trains, but we need them to lose their goddamn minds. Post-pandemic a poll conducted by OneRail found that 64% of Americans "view public transit and passenger rail favorably." And what's not to love? You don't have to drive. It's safe. It's good for the climate. It's scenic, exciting, and memorable.
So how can America make a train network that is a glory instead of one that would embarrass Bulgaria?

That is train mania.
