There are railway lines all across the Alps, and the rail densitiy on
the Norwegian Fjell isn't bad for a country with such a low population
density. It's certainly doable if one really wants to.

You just don't get it.

To put enough railroad tracks in the US to have even half the density of
tracks per square mile as the railroads have in Europe, or half the tracks
per population density in Europe, or half the _any_ way you want to measure
it, would take the gross domestic product -the ENTIRE- gross domestic
product of the WHOLE US for a whole decade, and still not have put a dent in
the project.

This country IS BIG......WAY ****ING BIG ! ! !

Why can't you Europeans get that through your damn heads?

Forget about it...unless you want to pay for it...then go right ahead.

Sheesh. Get a clue.

P.S. Sorry for offending those of you with sensitive ears, and being the
rude American. I don't usually talk like this, but I couldn't take one more
clueless comment about how we should put in railroads like it works so well
in Europe. Not one more.
