I want to use trains so much. I love riding on them. They’re slower, more expensive, and more delay prone. Why would I do that to myself? I can afford the time usually, but you’d think they’d be less expensive than air travel. Nope. Every time I compare, air is cheaper.
Also, I can go see my sister in 3 hours. Or drive 16, I’m getting older so I have to make stops. Or I can take a few days. It’s $60 to fly or $400+ on train. Even then I would rather be on a train but that’s not an option.

I don’t understand why trains are so damn expensive. There’s is no way using thousands of gallons of jetfuel is cheaper than a train
It’s because of freight.
