The REAL Reason Why America Abandoned Its Passenger Trains While Europe Built Thousands
In 1952, the Santa Fe Super Chief carried Hollywood stars across America in stainless steel luxury. By 1971, it was gone, along with 59,400 miles of passenger rail and 2,000 daily trains. In that same window, Japan opened the Shinkansen and France started breaking speed records on its national railway. The standard explanation why America abandoned it's passenger trains is that they just chose cars. That's not the real story. This video breaks down the actual mechanism behind America's passenger rail collapse. This isn't a story about cars beating trains. It's a story about who governments decided should pay for infrastructure — and the consequences that decision still produces today. #trains #amtrak #railroad #infrastructure #history #engineering
