      Even more odd is there being a Brit in charge of Amtrak

      Isn’t there a single qualified American that cares about trains?

        Pretty sure guy doing Texas high speed is… german speaker, austrain?

        So looks like no, we don’t have know how at that level here and it makes sense.

        So maybe there is hope if they are hiring someone with proper skill for the job.

        Although, it would not be first time where we blow ton of money on project just to have derailed by political “process” corruption. But at least dudes in charged touched a high speed train once…

        PS did not mean to disrespect the UK guy, I am sure they know what they are doing in UK expect the political “process” corruption, looks like they also suffer :/
