but like the Accordion era pre-Beatles, the great heydey of Passenger Trains
in the USA has passed..
That’s a huge shame. We’ve relied on trains to get around many parts of Europe when on vacation. Most of the time I rent a car for at least part of the time to explore the countryside, but the last trip to Italy was all train and bus. A simple, painless, and inexpensive way to travel.
Here, most of the time where we live it’s automobile or nothing. Can’t even get to the bus station without a car.
