    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 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.
