Well, traffic jams certainly add to train travel's popularity. And they've had traffic jams going back to the height of passenger train travel (see below; Spring Street in Elizabeth NJ circa the 40s or so I'm guessing, nowadays US 1&9, but no CNJ Spring Street Station to serve it now).Being in earnest about high speed rail would have helped too. The original promises surrounding the Budd Metroliner involved it eventually operating at 160 mph, which would have made it the fastest passenger train in the world back then if that had come true. |
