another day of thanking god i don’t live in amerika 🙏😊
Yeah doesn’t the US have like half the amount of rail it originally had in the 1940s?
Yep. My mind was blown when I read a book from the 1920s (I think it was a Jack London one), and rail took the main character from NYC to San Francisco in like 3 days. US coast-to-coast travel in < week was pretty standard 100 years ago.
Was that the episode where he got a job as a bell hop at a hotel and met Sam Clemens?

What a tragedy
Nationalize the railways!
I’ve always wanted to try building one of those track running cars, they look really cool!
@sexy_peach does that include tram (streetcar) tracks as well? 😂😂
Would that be even visible on a map in this scale?
@PolandIsAStateOfMind Hah! I know, just kidding. But probably on such a map you’d have various dots representing the cities that partially or totally ripped off their tracks (or rendered them abandoned)
