Half of you will find some "interest" in this, the other half will
be disgusted, lol.

Sounds like someone heard the "highway to Hawaii" joke one too many times.

These people must crazy build thing, I would ever ride a train like this, too many things could go wrong like very sick person on board and drunken person on board need taken off of train. and other things could wrong. Me & my mom taken Princess cruise out of LAX, CA to Hawaii 2 weeks on ship Sept 2010 , its takes 4 days for first stop in Hawaii. I just love ship. Ever by train.

The important thing about rail routes, as opposed to air, is the low cost of intermediate stops. I expect a chain if heretofore undiscovered vacation paradises to dot the line between our 31st and 50th states.

former Hawaiian Sen Daniel Inouye must've drafted this up before he went toes up ... hey he got the Admiral Clary Bridge aka "the bridge to nowhere" to become a reality ...

The nice thing is after an on-route explosion there is no fire. Not so with airplanes!

WOW there is no hope for CA now. When I saw the thread title I was kinda of confused, baffled or was this a joke, nope no joke and I am still confused that CA could slip that far in to insanity.

Railcity's electron glue is going bad. Too many of his words didn't stick and they fell off his post.

Woooooosh

It is hard to believe that some folks would confuse this story with the truth. There were clues all through the story.

Look down to the Mexican HSR story and this story does not seem so unreal. The problem is not that people do not realize it is a joke but the whole
concept of what the joke is really about.

I think the plaintiffs should ask for at least 20 mil!

The Daily Currant is a satire site.

But wait, I checked, it was not a story by "the Onion",
lol.

April Fools jokes work much better in November.

I had never heard of "the Daily Currant", but figured
most (all actually) would get it after reading the
story in full.

"“Yeah, I guess that kind of seems like a lot of money,”
says Chaz Whitman, a part-time juggler from Berkeley.
“But those fat cat CEOs on Wall Street make more than
$500 billion in a single day right? Let’s just raise
taxes on them a little bit. Like there’s like so much
money out there that we’re not using."" Lol.

Neat.

So when is the east coast version version connecting the NEC with the UK ECML going to get built?

HURRAH !!

Harry Harrison was one of my favorite authors back when I was a teenager.

If you're interested in both trains and sci-fi you should check out "Souls in the Great Machine" by Sean McMullem.
