Revival Of Train Travel

Historical and awe-inspiring, trains helped make the world what it is today. In India, trains are still a very popular mode of travel for all economic classes. There’s no better way to see the beauty and diversity of Europe than by train. For the United States, rapid expansion into the West wouldn’t have been possible without trains.

When it comes to transporting goods, trains are still big business. Virginia’s Norfolk Southern recently spent $97.8 million of its own money (along with $83.3 million from the federal government and $9.8 million from Ohio and Virginia) to raise the heights of nearly 30 tunnels along an old coal train route. Why? To run a direct path from an international shipping port in Norfolk, Virginia to a transfer station in Columbus, Ohio with double-stacked cargo containers.

Popular in just about every country except the United States, high-speed trains are more fuel-efficient than airplanes and cars and often require less travel time (depending on the destination).

Billions of dollars have been approved by the U.S. government for high-speed rail projects across the country. Current estimates show nearly the entire country connected by high-speed rail by 2030 (with traditional-speed trains filling in the gaps). Read the entire article.
