It is a great opportunity to utilize an existing railroad to start a new trend towards a more environmentally Friendly transportation system that was abandoned in the 1970's and whose time has now come again. The train is the best way for the persons with disabilities and seniors to travel. The train provides more choices for travel and is more friendly and sociable than cars and airlines . A train ride is so enjoyable that there are 20 tourist railroads operating in Pennsylvania. The fact is that on a train you can move about ,sleep, eat ,drink and even be entertained while you travel.
Cars are one of our strongest loves.
We can not get along without them today. Our whole world is built around the cars and trucks, all day and all night, we live in and for them. Our auto-oriented development has meant that farm land is being used up. If this continues, population and urbanization will have to be controlled at some point, to balance food production and urban sprawl. Train-oriented development is more compact and less wasteful.
