bald headed step child BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN (68* d) RE: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN 04 Mar 09


Yeah, Ebbie, I heard a clip of Rash Limburger talking about that today. He says it is so the people in LA can go to the Bunny Ranch cat house in Vegas. I guess he's hoping people won't notice that the Ranch isn't in Vegas, and prostitution isn't legal in Vegas either.

They are still trying to say it's in the stimulus, but there is no LA to Vegas train in there.

I think it's about time we got some better rail service in this country. I think subsidising airlines is ridiculous.

Pre 9/11 LA to San Francisco, flying was about 1hr faster than driving. Now with the security checks, etc, it's over an hour faster to drive, even with the traffic. Imagine how many cars would be taken off the road with a fully functioning high speed rail system servicing the entire west coast.

Imagine how many cars and planes removed with a high speed rail NY to LA.

I think the time has come(actually long overdue).

BHSC
