@AccordionBruce @mekkaokereke @rst @jbqueru Honestly, there are aspects of *Australian* train networks that Americans can't believe.

And given how far behind Asia and Europe Australia generally is when it comes to trains, that's saying something.

For example, all of Australia's mainland capital cities are sprawled out metropolitan areas, yet have multiple electrified train lines to the edge of suburbia.

As in, the trains are generally electrified multiple units that run all day. As in, the worst lines run every 40 minutes on weekends.

That's considered *bad* by the rest of the world.

Yet there's a lot of Americans who can't even conceive of the idea that thry would catch a train to work from an outer suburb.

Seriously, most Americans have no idea how far behind the rest of their world their country is.

I had an argument on here a while ago who couldn't believe that Sydney had a metro line to its outer suburbs that was faster than driving.

And compared to Europe? Lithuania has a better train system than most of the US. And that's with a starting point of a run-down Soviet infrastructure under Russian occupation 35 years ago.

Two ICE trains coupling at Vienna Central Station, filmed from one platform away. One person with a suitcase, on the platform where the train is at, is also watching this process.

I would not break up an explanation into smaller sections, just to have it easily digestible. Focus & concentration is needed; sometimes we have to read whole books in one hit to understand a subject thoroughly

I've done that before and I'm doing a time and time again
