While we're dreaming, can we connect SLC to Boise and Portland?

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

You know I've seen this argument numerous numerous times and I still don't believe that enough people would be interested in using the train to go to either Boise or Portland in large enough numbers to make it worth it. Hell we can barely get people to take UTA as it is.

It's too bad Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood is such a flimsy underrepresentation of the average American oil tycoon

I'm no expert on US geography, but isn't it like really dumb to put 3 train lines through desert? (the red, yellow and grey lines).

i can understand the coastlines (east and west) and maybe one in the south (the yellow line). what i basically don't get is the rest.
