I'm sorry but I'm dying at this being framed like it's horrible:

More trains are good! Less emissions, less traffic, more mobility for everyone (disabled folks benefit highly from accessible public transport, for one group of many)...

Anyway, here's the actual feasibility study from Amtrak, the MTA, and New Jersey Transit on increasing capacity at New York Penn Station. I can think of something else that should be done but it's over 60 years too late to do it,* so this is the next best thing.

*I will never be over what happened to the original Penn Station. It's a huge chip on my shoulder and the fastest way to get me violently angry.

My child wanted me to draw a jet. I had a silly idea that kids would totally do cause they're not afraid to explore possibilities.

A little experiment.

Like this if you like trains I guess.

I have sat in some really nice cars and some really dingy trains but I've never once sat in a train and thought 'I wish I was in a car right now'

I'm serious, if trains were invented today by Elon Musk they would be described as the greatest invention of all time.

Trains are amazing on so many accounts,

Safer - its amazing how vehicles traveling along pre-ordained paths controlled by experienced workers is safe.

quieter - Outside of trains they're so infrequent that most of the time it's quiet. Inside of trains its jus quieter physically and also is a more consistent, its like white noise so I find it almost pleasant.

faster - trains go vroom vroom

efficient - both in fuel consumption and movement of people/goods.

smaller footprint - a train track is about 1.5m wide while. a single lane road is about 3.5m (ignoring pavements) and due to their higher efficiency you don't need as many multiple lanes. Also for every car sold its estimated 3 car parking spots are built which take up so much space.

luxurious - this is an opinion but i think its a strong one; in trains you're able to stand up do to it being safer and no need of seatbelts; you don't have to do anything except get on and off (in cars you have to do a thing called drive); trains travel at constant speeds so the journey is less jerky; access to small or sometimes large tables; more legroom; etc...

night trains - some trains which run overnight have beds which aren't the best but lying flat is luxuries when trying to sleep.

cheaper - cost of fuel, workers, maintenance is spread across all users and so is cheaper than cars which you have to pay for all of the above.

You may be thinking, trains are pretty cool but you can't just build train tracks through the middle of cities like roads; well let me introduce you to a marvellous invention, baby trains (trams). they are the inner city version of trains and full of there own advantages.

disability friendly - due to the tracks being imbedded into the ground they pose little tripping risk especially for elderly and disabled. Also less cars is just safer overall.

human friendly - due to there slow speeds and preordained paths, they're very easy for people to avoid and so can coexist in areas with people. This is a stark contrast to cars which dominate and own any surface they touch.

retake the streets - without cars streets return to the people meaning; children can play outside again, existing outside is better, more space for stuff like public markets.

Cannot tell you how validating it is to do a tour of the archives with a bunch of autistic teenagers when you work at a railroad museum and are also autistic. When I told them all I was also an autistic railfan they started yelling "One of us!" and it made my day.

Shout out to those kids for letting me infodump about specific GG1 locomotive 4935 (Blackjack) since we have a model of her around. You all rock.
