<p>[quote user="PJS1"]Cars and planes won out over trains for a good reason. They are better technologies.[/quote]</p> <p>I agree with your first sentence. But better technology? That is a question of definition. The planes won over long distances because they are much faster than trains and cars because they were comfortable and allowed individual travel planning.</p> <p>Prices I can't compare.</p> <p>[quote user="PJS1"]But trains are a good choice in relatively short, high density corridors, like the NEC, LAX to San Diego, etc. [/quote]</p> <p>Here trains can be faster, more comfortable in corridors and even with diesel traction more ecological than other modes of transportation.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p>
