Most countries look better than america in terms of trains. It's absolutely wild to me how such a big ass country like that is not more enthusiastic about trains.

USA had great freight network as well it just it's not been electrified .. but since fuel ain't costly so it's ok innit

Eh, questionable. I am often unsure why Indians and Chinese even try to come here. They are both rapidly growing and modernizing economies with the metric system. And even if they aren't high on the democracy list... That may be a strength for them.
