Yeah doesn’t the US have like half the amount of rail it originally had in the 1940s?
Yep. My mind was blown when I read a book from the 1920s (I think it was a Jack London one), and rail took the main character from NYC to San Francisco in like 3 days. US coast-to-coast travel in < week was pretty standard 100 years ago.

What a tragedy
Nationalize the railways!
@sexy_peach does that include tram (streetcar) tracks as well? 😂😂
Would that be even visible on a map in this scale?
@PolandIsAStateOfMind Hah! I know, just kidding. But probably on such a map you’d have various dots representing the cities that partially or totally ripped off their tracks (or rendered them abandoned)
I’ve always wanted to try building one of those track running cars, they look really cool!
