>>2031657its a major city that isn't on a coast and isn't blocked by the rocky mountains. no one in their right mind would ever want to go to chicago under any circumstances and right now by train it takes like a week from nyc to chicago. the train fags think if we put hsr between nyc and chicago you can link every major mid west city to the east coast corridor and that would justify building the rail, even though again, who the fuck wants to go to chicago?
