Idk I think it can bring smaller cities to life by making it a service zone. Like small town OK pitstop for food/ rest / mechanical servicing etc.


Think about what you just posted. They’re going from Chicago to NY in 2.5 hours. You’re not stopping in podunk Ohio for a pit stop.

That 2.5 hr claim would assume the train is going an average of 285 mph the entire trip. Laughable. Then add on transit time to get to the train station from either end, time through security, boarding, etc, and this just shows how dumb the whole thing is.
