    Spending for a Midwest hub is a waste when they can’t even make the DC to bostoin route good.

      Yeah it’s quite painful- we need significant investments in intercity rail, yet the best we can do with the largest infrastructure bill ever is sprinkle around little baby steps in many places …… and too much of that was broken contracts, not happening

      Yes there are some huge projects too, mostly on NEC, and desperately needed. But even there, we’re talking about barely scratching a century of deferred maintenance resulting in only incremental improvements.

      There’s got to be a better and cheaper way of doing this.
