Here on the West Coast, the land of Interstate 5, I refuse to believe that there a car-train from LA to Seattle wouldn’t be a great idea. You know, just like they have in Europe–you load your car up, put it on the train, go to bed, and when you wake up, you’re at your destination–with your very own car! Can’t have too many stops, though; I’m thinking San Diego, LA area, SF/Sacramento (would probably have to stop in Lathrop, in striking distance of each), Portland, and Seattle.
I contacted Amtrak about this. Their response? “Oh, that wouldn’t work.”
Of course it won’t work, when you’re a government-assisted monopoly. Why *would* you do anything differently?
In the meantime, all those cars continue to drive along Interstate 5….
