@OleandrFilms Canada's the same way - passengers are herded like cattle and treated like they're too stupid to be trusted with crossing from one carriage to another or bringing their own food. They force everyone to sit in one or two carriages even if others are empty because it's easier for the staff to "manage" everyone if they're all crammed in together. An eight-carriage train will only have one or two doors open even if there are a hundred people getting on.
And - what I love about trains in Russia is that you have much more personal freedom, including looking through an open window (unlike Amtrak with their nazi rules that prohibit opening the windows and many other prohibitions)
And - you're right, in the U.S. the railway system is very-very underdeveloped (except for the Northeast corridor, where it's all concrete ties). It will take decades before America catches up to Russia in its railway infrastructure.

@MegaDavid1960 Check your spelling, bro :))
You meant "concrete ties".
