The railroads let everything go in the 50's when they stopped providing the passenger services to every little town of any value in the USA. <br /> <br />I suppose they could not be blamed as they lost the mail contracts, aircraft was getting dominant, autos were very convient way to get around and trucking was born from the war years. <br /> <br />I thought about running amtrack from Little rock to washington however the cost of a soutwest direct flight was much faster, cheaper and less of a hassle than spending 24 hours on a train that had to go to Chicago to make it to D.C. <br /> <br />I believe that someday we will have regional corridors that will link the nation together and it might be possible to make the same trip in a afternoon from Little Rock to D.C. But not in my life time.
