amtrak-official So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands,which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century Also the is more highways which destroy significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work Reply by catboymothman So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like *only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way, its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but one would be much more frustrating amtrak-official Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or only used for freight rail at the moment mudkipspropaganda Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a lackluster rail system, do we? amtrak-official Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you personally
