I was so excited for a second thinking oh! could it be? someone else who GETS IT? and then i realize its Amtrak official.

though I *do* feel great sorrows at modern trains. They're very...well they're modern. I crave the beauty of what they once were. it's like shaving a tiger because for some reason someone wanted a smooth tiger, it lost its character! its beauty! now it's just kind of sad and unsettling! the trains are NAKED. : ( I just want to ride a train and feel like a victorian detective with too much money and a case to crack. the victorians were right, we did need more curtains, we needed more softness, and chairs are better with a little style. the victorians were RIGHT. now were they questionable in a thousand bilion other ways? of course, but what society does not gaze upon their predecessors without disgust? we too shall be shameful in the eyes of those who come after us, do the trains too, gaze with disdain on their extravagant ancestors? do they know they are naked tigers?

How can you not love the train? Do you hate the environment? Is it efficiency you hate? Connection with humanity? History? aesthetics? Women? Cheap prices? Machinery? The Arts?, I just want to know, what is it that you hate about trains so much
