I have seen newspaper articles using the phrase "chugging along" when refering to freight railroading and Amtrak, but I think this is the first time I have seen the phrases "high speed rail" and "chugging along" in the same sentence: <br /> <br />http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBEW9SD5AE.html <br /> <br />FYI, the article's subject matter is the fact that the Florida High Speed rail authority is still meeting and planning despite the revocation of funding by the voters. The so-called journalists goes on to mention "bullet train" but alas she deprives us of the phrase "bullet train chugging along". <br /> <br />Do any of you have examples of this oxymoronic phraseology you can share, and does anyone have an article that does put "bullet train" and "chugging along" in the same sentence?
