I’m not jealous. I’m glad we’re not Europe. Chicago to Cincy trains would be a complete waste of resources.
You can drive. And now, with electric cars on the horizon and an electric charging network planned, it will be way more eco-friendly.
Trains should only be regional (ie metropolitan, like Chicago’s Metra), otherwise cars and planes should be enough.
