For those questioning if rail is needed in indiana, here is an electric inter-urban rail map of Indiana in 1905. We. Had. Rail
@rileychoe1 Nice! But the lines shown in Czech Rep. are only the main railroads. There is much more branch local railroads with passenger traffic.
For all the ppl who question the data for Indiana's current GDP in US dollars like idk what to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@rileychoe1 I agree with the statement but the graphic kind of cuts off the northern rail.
@rileychoe1 @DouglasLindsey You used a map with all rail in Czech and only Amtrak in Indiana. I know for a FACT that there's way more rail in Indiana than that map shows bc my dad lived near an active track that's nowhere near where that is shown. What's the point of this post?
@rileychoe1 However one should know that the fundamental part was developed already under the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Bohemia Land was just lucky because Vienna needed the rail connection.
@rileychoe1 What role does demand for rail travel play in this equation?
