I have tracks near my house that I could take to work, if they bothered to extend the line. There are some parts that need repair, but the land exists and the rails are largely unused for freight and mostly used to store extra cars. It goes right through most of the city centers in my area, and a large company has already promised to create a ton of jobs if the line is built. Oh, and there’s crazy congestion on the highway that runs parallel to these tracks, and these tracks go right next to two professional sports stadiums.
So when are they starting construction? Not until 2050 at the earliest… Why? A handful of people in one small area of the line oppose it…
