Hate to break it to you, but trains are in fact amazing for intercity freight. They’re not for the last mile, of course, but trucking or airlifting your Amazon shit into your city is plain dumb.
I don’t know about Amazon. On the one hand they are continuing the American tradition of destroying small businesses. On the other hand I have a lot more stuff than previous generations.
Conversely, no train has ever been speeding in a schools zone, jumped a curb and killed a bunch of kids.
I mean, they do that sometimes. Particularly in countries with poorly maintained tracks.
Yet. There’s still more juice to squeeze in the exciting world of trains.

If anything it reads like the train with all of the kids was likely traveling below the speed limit.
Yeah, I wasn’t posting it to say I’m anti-train or something. It’s just a horrible, but interesting story.
No train delivered amazon shit to my door

they delivered Amazon shit to your door in the same way somebody in a vehicle did (the last mile )
neither of them did the whole process
did you think you were making a good point?
We’re already convinced that trains were better, but thanks for yet another pro-train argument
Good. The future is better without cars and Amazon.

They genuinely used to do this.
