    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.

      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.
