[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by spbed Is that from Chic to Milw on that day room? [:o)][:)] Take me for a instant. I live in the lower SE & say to get to Chic by train would be a day or more. Airplane 4 1/2 hours including 1 hour drive time to & from the airport. Yes airlines such as Delta & United & US Air are in deep doo-doo from past giveaways when times were good. But el cheapo airlines such as SW, Jet Blue, Spirit are doing quite well. As a example I am going shortly from FLL to Omaha Mapquest says that is 3,200 miles round trip & I am paying only $120.00 for the R/T ticket or less then $0.04 per mile. Mapquest further says by car it is 25 hours vs air about 7 with the L/O in Chicago. As I have said the few that will give up hours for a train are in my opinion quite few & far between. [:o)][:D][:p] Hopefully you are aware that the main reason the interstate system was even built was so we can easily move very heavy military equipment from point A to point B most quickly. If you check out the law that enabled the I system you will find that EVERY underpass has to be I think 15'8" below the overpass so that large equipment like tanks & APV & things like that can pass underneath safely. [:o)][:D][:p] No matter in my opinion outside of the NEC train travel in the USA is for the few not the many sorry to say.
