Who cares if passenger rail disappears ?

Trains can't go everywhere, and neither do airliners. You are complaining that someone had to pick you up 50 miles away from Des Moines? The nearest airport with scheduled flights closest to me is 75 miles away. I am sure there are many with longer distances, possibly up to half of America's population. <br /> <br />Last week I rode Amtrak to Washington DC from Cleburn, Texas. Cleburne is about 20 miles from where I live in Granbury. Here are some of my pictures of the trip: <br /> <br />http://homepage.mac.com/donclark/PhotoAlbum18.html <br /> <br /> <br />I can't drive that far in two days. I was able to see the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower. When I returned, I was rested. A wonderful vacation. <br /> <br />However, I would like to get there in one day. I have posted in the past how and how much it would cost. The solution is HSR.
