o-dragon05:systlin:rowantheexplorer:caucasianscriptures:Meet the MidwesternersSeriously, here in Texas, to get to the next major city is an hour by plane (which of course means absorbing 5 hours of your day because airports), 3-8 hours by car, or 5-12 hours by Amtrak. If I’m going to be blowing so much daylight anyway, I might as well do it in the lowest-stress way possible. Train stations for the most part don’t have TSA, trains have lovely huge seats in coach like you’d find in first class on a plane, there’s actually good food on the train. Also, the tickets are cheap; I can go from Austin to Dallas for $25, which is less than gas. I’ve about decided to always try to take the train if I can.I’m in this post and please please please give us more trains. As a Texan:Please for the love of God give us trains. I will 100% take it before planes, cars, etc. Unless the train station is in downtown Houston. I’ll drive 2 hours if it’s in the suburbs, but I will not go into Houston.Fuck just Texas, the entire western half of the country is like that. Just to get from one half of my state to the other, takes 3 hours. A rail line would be great, but a monumental feat. -- source link
