And no security hassles (although I'm sure TSA is trying to fix this).
Maybe taking trains has no effect now, but if we increase the demand,
then according to all the economic laws the prices will go up and the
service ought to expand and get bigger... Still, it was extremely
disappointing to read how much effort was allocated to remove passengers
from trains despite the demand at the time (e.g. E.B. White's The
Railroad, pages 208-224 in Essays of E.B. White).

who loves the trains and high speed rail of Taiwan and Japan and who,
every few years, investigates the cost and time of taking cargo ship
(because there are no longer passenger ships) and train from Taiwan to
Kentucky.

As far as I'm concerned, the best reason for taking the train is that it's fun!
You see fascinating places, meet new people and eat good food. What's not to
like?
