For at least 30 years middle Georgia (USA) has asked for rail commute to Atlanta and Savannah.
Now see.....this rail used to be a passenger rail. Somehow this ended and we can't get it back.
With the abysmal traffic in Atlanta, this would seemingly call for enthusiasm. Somehow the issue always dies quietly after a poll is given.
Living in Savannah, I'd really just like the old passenger schedule to re open.
Not gonna happen anytime soon.
My god, a rail system all the way down I-75, A STRAIGHT FUCKING SHOT PERFECT FOR A TRAIN, would be amazing.
Instead, we got more Peach Pass that is seemingly never open on the side that actually needs it.
I lived in Savannah for 5 years for college.
I really miss that city, I haven't been back since 2009. Say hi for me.
I served at Ft Stewart and loved visiting Savannah ❤️
Will do!
I can't believe there's not a plan for a rail from Atlanta to New Orleans also. There is so much back and forth from Atlanta to New Orleans these days.
I think this already exists with Amtrak. I think it's called the southern crescent.
