Your best argument for train tavel is:

WALK your carryon bag from downtown to your hotel.

Or that I might be traveling 250 miles with a giant "checked" bag.



That's because they take 5-10 times longer!

Again, I love the idea of high speed rail, but the reaason we dont have it is because:



Mainly being: where they DO have it its cheeper to fly so the majority of travelers (buisness) do that. Sorry they dont check bags - and they get free door to door service instead of dragging their "giant checked baggage's" down the foreign street they never been on.

Lol you’re delusional. And It’s very obvious you don’t travel much. I’m not fighting anything. Simply stating my opinion. There are many instances where taking a train ends up being faster door to door. Plenty of business people take trains. I’ll give you that majority of business trips probably don’t need checked bags, but a lot still do. You going to fold up your nice suit and put it in your carry on? For my job I’m often bringing a checked bag of PPE like safety shoes, a hard hat, high vis gear, or arc flash clothing.
