the orange blobs are populated areas. notice how many either have no station, or are not even connected to other nearby blobs by any direct route.

i mean if we're being honest the only grievous omissions there are Nashville, Columbus, Louisville, Phoenix (which has a nearby stop), and Vegas. fuck Roanoke is probably in the top 10 blobs on that map without a connection

half of those are basically "don't build your city near a mountain range or a desert"

Isn’t it true that only the NY-Philly-DC stretch (maybe Boston too?) is profitable and subsidizes the rest of the map?

it's because gay ass freight trains control virtually all of the track right-of-way outside of the northeast corridor

we should be moving more truck and train freight to the rivers, but ARE river system is suffering from long-term lack of investment and aging locks. cargo doesn't even really travel up the missouri anymore.

You can take Caltrain from San Jose to SF. It's just not part of Amtrak.
