By the way, there's a major magazine that wants to run a big piece on trains, the lack thereof, in the US mainly, also elsewhere. I've been asked to write it, but backed off - too much research, too far away. I guess I could contribute on the "elsewhere" bit. Anyone know a trains guru/advocate with the whole thing at his fingertips who might be interested? Anyone like to contribute? It wouldn't be for a few months, but this could be a chance to to something about it, considering what Robert's been saying, all too true, and the figures that Tim posted previously - once again:
