People are trying to use the fact that California's population is not growing as fast as people thought it would to shut down #CAHSR. Even if the population number remained stagnant, it's still needed. #PassengerRail

“The FRA was required to study…expanding Amtrak’s current long-distance network to cities that have either lost their service since the creation of Amtrak in 1971 or never had it.…
Some of those routes are ones that Amtrak had early on but later lost, like the North Coast Hiawatha (the subject of a grassroots effort in Montana to revive) and the Pioneer. But some routes have never had service in the Amtrak era, such as between Billings and Denver.” https://railfan.com/fras-long-distance-study-produces-map-of-expanded-amtrak-services/ #PassengerRail

The train is called "Freccia Rossa" (Red Arrow), and I can't stop humming Bandiera Rossa... which is ironic as this is a private company partly owned by the Italian state
