The Antiplanner was pleased to note that the Wall Street Journal reviewed Romance of the Rails last week. Not surprisingly, the comments on this review were much friendlier to the book than the comments on the Trains magazine interview.
Journal book reviewer Patrick Cooke called the book an “exhaustively researched exploration of America’s passenger-rail story” and correctly noted that, though I love passenger trains, I’m a “reluctant realist” who wrote the book as a “love letter to a dying friend.” However, “‘Dying’ may not be the best way to describe rail,” suggests the first comment on the article. “‘Permanent vegetative state’ might be more accurate.”

For those who love passenger trains, Cooke optimistically suggests that there may be hope for the future as “The so-called Green New Deal proposal, conjured in a rapture of utopian bliss and soon to be launched by the Democratic House, will cost, by one estimate, $700 billion to $1 trillion annually and includes funding for high-speed, zero-carbon rail” and “$25 billion in mass-transit spending to build, or expand, subway and light-rail transit systems nationwide.” Someone should point out to those Democrats that slide rules and manual typewriters emit far fewer greenhouse gases than electric calculators and microcomputers.
“…funding for high-speed, zero-carbon rail.” Doesn’t that sound great! Who can oppose something like that?
However, Just moving a train 1 mph takes a lot of carbon as even a short commuter train can weigh close to a million pounds with passengers included.
Moving it at a high speed – unless you are talking nuclear powered trains, you are ignoring the laws of physics.
USA has had tens of millions of slide rules and manual typewriters stolen since 1969. :$
Sorry John1000 & CapitalistRoader, you can cheat at politics, but not with physics :$

What a great idea! Let’s go back to steam locomotives and resurrect all those failed railroads (killed by the government, to be sure) to please a mentally ill idiot from Montreal.
Highwayman:
Great photo. Funny.
But the girls aren’t “zero carbon” and they aren’t moving high speed.
Why not?

Yes those women are breathing and making flatulence.
Roads aren’t subjected to existing on a profit or loss basis.
Your agenda is political, not economic :$
