Boston is the only disconnect in the entire Amtrak network. Awesome.
I find it the natural consequence of the whole northeast being starved for infrastructure. We've constrained supply of mobility, so, yeah, Amtrak is master of a small domain and makes money.Does any one else find it fucked up that the Northeast Corridor makes money?
Half of road costs are paid for using the general fund (and not a user fund levied on road users). That means that the government is subsidizing driving over public transportation. Why is our government so backwards?
100% of road infrastructure should be paid for using the gas tax and tolls. I understand that people will say it's a backwards tax but government can increase benefits to make up for it. Also move closer to work if you can't afford it.

Does anyone ride the Lakeshore end to end? 22 hours to Chicago seems like an absolute joke.
Why does it look like it was built in 1976
If the rolling stock is 1976, the bridge itself looks like 1876...
