  • THIS IS NORTH CAROLINNA,CHARLOTTE, SAISBURY, KANNIPILOUS, GREENSBORO, HIGH POINT,DURHAM , AND RALIEGH. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE PROUD OF, WE'RE SMALL TOWNS. BUT WE HAVE "RAILS" TRAINS SHOOTING EVERYWHERE 80MPHTRACKS

  • who was the sponsor?

  • @granskare If nothing else, the European system has the possibility of making it so that the freight railroads can't bog down Amtrak. The problem is that Amtrak converted the private passenger service into a government system, I don't see it going the other way. That would be dumb.

  • @Namerifrats It's worked so far. The number of passengers using the service tripled after the third round trip was added.

  • Cool! Too bad 1792 couldn't live to see this.

  • One step closer to the South East high speed rail corridor

  • @Namerifrats the railroads in the UK are all privately owned...trackage is in government hands...check it out...don't make a judgment based on what have now...check Europe...even Finland does better...holiday greets to you :)

  • NICE!!!!

  • @Namerifrats Sorry, I'm just not as enthusiastic about this as you guys are. lol

  • More taxpayer money down the tube and another Amtrak to delay us.....
