I’ve never been on a train for a long trip but I can’t imagine you don’t check your bags. I don’t see everyone going to their seats with two rolling suit cases. No way.
Second, there’s no chance these trains won’t have a two hour check in time with TSA and all the same shit they have at airports. We used to run into an airport 15 minutes before take off, not now. Trains would be the same.
Third, and this is the technical part. You can’t just have a train going LA to NY like a direct flight. It’s not feasable, cost wise or use wise. The train would have to stop. A lot. So what stops? Let’s say LA, SLC, Denver, KC, STL, Chicago, Philly, NYC? Something like that. You aren’t smoking through those cities at 350 mph, sudden stop, 15 minute unload reload time and back to 350 mph. It’s an hour per stop minimum after slowing down well before getting there and leaving.
None of it makes sense as a tax payer investment. If a private railroad thinks they can do it I’m all for it. Not all of us paying for this mess.
True. Of course the much vaunted Erostar trains require huge ralroad stations at both ends and hours-long waits in security lines before boarding. But they cover their 20 miles in just a few minutes. If ou're headed for Paris hand-carry your luggage or take a slow train to Brussels to look for it.
Boston is tiny in terms of area. But more to the point, whenever I went to Boston (by plane) I got into and out of it via the "T" ---- which, for those not familiar .... IS A TRAIN.
Also, high speed trains only hit top speeds on long, straight, flat stretches of track. Do you envision a lot of those going over the Rocky Mountains, the Appalachians, the Sierras? Biden is an idiot.

I think the senile old fuck missed a diaper change or something.
Whelp, first off your quote says "close to", not "as fast as". Second, the TGV (Train de Grand Vitesse) in France has been clocked at over 350 mph; and third, airports are always located well outside of cities, which adds all the time, assuming no schedule delays, of commuting to one airport and from the other, the security lines, check-in, all of that, resulting in the fact that I could drive from here in the sticks of North Carolina to downtown Nashville in the same time the company's plane ticket would get me there, and that's simply easy car driving and not a TGV.
Train stations, in contrast to airports, rarely ever fall out of the sky and therefore bring you right to the center of town.
So you agree with Biden's assessment that a train can get you "across the country" almost as fast as a commercial jet? Let's hear you say it...
Are YOU saying that a train will NEVER be able to travel as fast as current commercial aircraft? Let's hear you say that bit of stupid.

Nope. Top speeds of a train are 267mph. Commercial airliner is around 570mph. Aint gonna happen.

Even a slow train would beat the plane there.

Did Biden start a thread using an image of a Twatter feed by a third party as its basis?
We STILL have no source for that yanno. Sixty-seven posts later.

Airplanes are better for us. There is no track and other maintenance issues in the air. The track would need longer stretches of straighter lines and less curves. Progs do things just to be the opposite of others. They love big ticket items and expenses. You want a big ticket expense? Expand the space program in a huge way. Making sure the private side is involved with it.

Then stop contributing to the thread, dipshit.
The longest rail tunnel in the world cost a lot of money to build. The cost estimate of the project turned into a ~50% cost overrun. Imagine how much it would cost in America.
As of 1998, the total projected cost of the project was CHF 6.323 billion; as of December 2015, the final cost is projected as CHF 9.560 billion.
Wikiwand - Gotthard Base Tunnel
The Gotthard Base Tunnel is a railway tunnel through the Alps in Switzerland. It opened in June 2016 and full service began the following December. With a route length of 57.09 km (35.5 mi), it is the world's longest railway and deepest traffic tunnel and the first flat, low-level route through...
Funny how you keep trying to change the topic from "how fast" to "how much cost".
Slow news day, kiddies?

The topic has evolved, sonny. Have a nice day.
No, Joe Biden is still holding 18,000 kids in concentration camps at the border, and you're still ignoring it.

There are not enough "Funnys" to cover the assertion that airplanes need no maintenance.
