You know that Congress is serious about getting the facts about high-speed rail when it holds a hearing on high-speed rail in Grand Central Station. Rail advocates proposed to extend the Northeast Corridor rail system to Springfield. Videotaping is often discouraged at Congressional hearings, but fortunately the Antiplanner was able to obtain the video of this hearing shown below.

As noted in this advertisement for a rail system in North Carolina, the arguments for high-speed rail and urban rail transit are much the same: the costs are really, really high (“jobs!”), the transportation is convenient (if you happen to be going to one of the few places it goes and are willing to walk when you get there), and it is very affordable (provided you have billions in “stimulus” money).
Cue Dan with his best Appalachian hick impression, Dan’s alter-ego Highwayman with his meaningless spew about Koch, and the other liberals talking about EIS statements, the design of the stations, or anything but whether rail actually makes any sense (here’s a clue: it doesn’t).
Sorry O’Toole the mob has spoken 😉
metrosucks is quite ironic. He posts his opinions about a screen-inch under where it says:
“Constructive debate is welcome. Ad hominem attacks and name-calling will reveal the shallowness of the author.”

I thought I answered that a while back. You build the station out of town, connect it to the CBD using transit (express bus or light rail), and provide plenty of car parking linked to an arterial road. Just like an airport.
Sorted.
As to the cost-effectiveness of rail, that is a different matter.
Speaking of North Carolina, there was this recently from the The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.):
With funds in jeopardy, N.C. pushes rail projects
metrosucks, anyone that uses a “hick” accent to describe North Carolina is probably not very familiar with the Tar Heel State, and has quite possibly been watching too many reruns of Mayberry, RFD.
While the western part of the state is indeed mountainous (and the highest mountain peak in the U.S. east of the Mississippi River, Mount Mitchell, is in Yancey County) the major urban centers of the state (Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham and Winston-Salem) are rather far from the mountains.

I was not referring to North Carolina. I was referring to Dan’s stupid habit of adopting a hick-like speaking mannerism in an attempt to ridicule the Antiplanner’s arguments.
No one needs to adopt a hick mannerism to ridicule what what O’Toole says.
We already know he always says: Four lanes good, two tracks bad!
You meant to say “Grand Central Terminal,” not “Grand Central Station.” The latter is a subway stop on the IRT.
