Post fantasies of your dipshit American suburb becoming literally Amsterdam. Bonus points for quaint and outmoded technologies like streetrunning rail mixed with car traffic

I wish there was a rack railway to the summit of Mt. Everest

>street-running
But why though? That's going to be way slower than a 4 station line at the centers of each town and that airport.

I always dreamed of this train line when I went to college. I was driving up to Omaha frequently and I wish there was a DMU or HSR connecting these cities.

The fact this isn't a HSR line upsets me

I often think of this but for a local mountain, then think about all the normies swarming it, and thing they should just take a nearby, shorter mountain to look at the tallest.

Blue is existing service, red is what I'd like

Rails and stations all exist, just the boness line is only a heritage railway and the Dunfermline line needs a change in Edinburgh at the moment (used this many times in the past, but direct would be more convenient)

Boness one is particularly annoying as that is where the national railways museum is, would be a much better day out to get the train there rather than the bus

How does any of that happen without the other half of walkabilty (which is to say verticality) providing the density to justify mass transit?

You realize you can build the line first while things are less dense and cheaper, and then upzone for the additional density afterwards right? This has been done before all over the world.
