If you are still taking the Plane to New York, I just gotta ask, do you hate yourself. The train is right there and you don't have to go through La Guardia or JFK international, like when your options are a somewhat slower journey or a quick journey though hell, I know which one I would pick. And that's not even getting into the leg room difference

8 hours is not somewhat slower than 45 minutes. Even counting bullshit airport times it’s still at least twice as fast. All I’m asking for is high speed rail, not a train that maxes out at what, 60mph?

Most of our trains reach 79 mph for max speed but some reach 110 and the Acelas reach 155mph
