The whole SI system needs a fresh look. This was part of the Baltimore and Ohio RR. And at one time the trains ran on the surface. In the 1960's they put the trains in a hole, out of sight. The businesses who sell cars and build roads are in charge of transportation planning for the whole country. So this is what you get. It's hard to believe at one time you could take a sleeping car all the way from St George Terminal to Saint Louis, Missouri!

The whole system needs a fresh look. At one time this was part of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with thru sleeping cars St. George Terminal to Saint Louis Missouri! The trains ran on the surface untill the 1960's when it was put in a hole, out of the way, and not seen. This is what you get when you have the car lobby running the transportation planning for the whole country. I'm surprized it didn't end up like Rochester, NY subway...abandoned.

The City should revamp the shaolin railroad so that it can be a more legitimate alternative to the bus system.

On a side note, however, I'm SICK AND TIRED of all the pussies in our modern day society who feel that there has to be a pistol packing police officer on every fucking corner to make you feel safe!! When this nation was founded, men were MEN and nobody cried that they needed a pig to hold their hands when walking home from work.

Grow some balls, white America.
