They’re talking Atlanta to Chattanooga to Nashville to Memphis. This would be cool and helpful.
I had heard Atlanta to Chatt to Nashville, but not that it was connecting to Memphis yet.
Memphis would obviously be great because then you connect to some of the remaining system and can get to Chicago, New Orleans, etc.
But I thought that was for a later stage
Get me an easy day trip to New Orleans. My god that would be cool!
Maybe it takes 5 hours vs. 3.5? Don’t care. Serve me beer and food, I’ll ride all day. Fuck around the French Quarter all night, ride my drunk ass home. Sounds like heaven.
I wish them well, those tracks are controlled by CSX, and they are bullies who refuse to follow long-standing passenger rail priority regs. But I would love to see CSX get put in its place, all aboard!
Why is the thumbnail for this an old white fella? Anyone else getting that?
Could that be a thumbnail of Steve Cohen, who announced the grant? It vaguely looks like him on his website. Could be a file photo of him. https://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-announces-corridor-id-grant-develop-passenger-rail
Could be it, yeah. I’ve been seeing a lot of unrelated thumbnails this weekend so I thought the trend was continuing.
