I think a more recent map is more interesting:

Remember, America was not built for the car, as ignorant people often claim. It was demolished for the car.

What’s crazy to me is that many of the railroads still exist and are used… But for freight only.

I looked at taking the train from Albuquerque to Denver, it goes east to Chicago before going back to Denver. It is a 7 hour drive, but a 32 hour train ride.

To be fair, we’re using really fucking old technology so it’s not surprising that it’s that much slower.

If we had proper high speed rail, like the Shinkansen, it would be much shorter.

There is also the fact for a 450 mile trip you have to go 2300 miles.
