    Man, Poland is out here building 350 km/h rail while we can’t even get Amtrak to show up on time. As an American reading this thread genuinely stings a little. We invented the modern passenger railroad and now we’re over here getting lapped on infrastructure by a country a third our size. Meanwhile my “high speed rail” option is a Greyhound that breaks down outside Sacramento. Cool cool cool, love that for us.
