l You get taken serious by your fellow carbrained americans because ““trucks”” are normalized and small handy cars are ridiculed.
So unless you are a fragile piece of human, choose the right one.
I bet a train wouldn’t even need to be serviced after hitting a moose. Nor would it even delay the trip.
I was driving from a village of 13 people, Healy Lake to Fairbanks, Alaska.
So I guess the trains delayed until the state decides to lay tracks down for the dozen people living there.
Nowadays, in rural Alaska at least, it seems trains are for tourists.
Trains won’t make every connection possible, but many people commuting between major urban areas still encounter dangerous roadkill conditions in their cars that could be mitigated by having good, high speed rail.
