@@banksrail thank u. I love railway content and I enjoy all of your videos. I remember the first time I heard of this railway term - "airline." I'm sure it was this corridor too. At first I thought I was miss reading and when I saw it was a thing it let me know that "it was just a whole different world back then" for them to even coin a railway line as an airline.

How about making a video about the Lehigh Valley line or the Lackawanna Cut Off route some day? Lots of potential in Eastern PA and Western NJ.

Lots of potential in the Northeast in general. 😂 I want to but no one ever votes for the Northeast options.

Are you thinking of doing a video on the other major abandoned section of the S-Line? (Savannah to Jacksonville) Or of its connections in Florida (Wildwood to Auburndale and to Orlando)?
@banksrail3 ай бұрын
Yeah I’ll mention them next video. Those sections are a lot larger but also less exciting 😂. I would like to see them be integrated into a regional rail network

Yeah turns out they couldn’t use CST or anything when filing for the merger so they went with X for the time being until they could figure out the name and it stuck lol

What’s with the Brightline dissing? I know it’s not _true_ high speed rail and their marketing scheme about that it is sure is misleading and I do agree that it should’ve been and stayed being state-owned , but isn’t florida having more passage trains (private or otherwise) a good thing?
@banksrail3 ай бұрын
It's not dissing it's truth. False advertising towards transit illiterate Americans doesn't help public transit, it just gives people a false perception of what transit is. In this case high speed rail. Like I've said before in my videos, their existence is good, but their tactics are bad.
@kevinp.h1573 ай бұрын
@@banksrail Well yeah I agree that that’s a valid concern to have about brightline and what it could cause, however I still think that it’s a net positive for Florida, if not like brightline tickets prices are any less expensive than amtrak tickets I have other thoughts on the matter but you might not like them

Generally, I found the video informative. I have moved to North Carolina. NCDOT has already improved train service since I moved here, by adding another Piedmont train, now four per day in each direction. The S Line improvements will improve service more dramatically. -- I found the airplanes in the video distracting and annoying. I found the corruption of the history of American slavery annoying as well. Setting the time frame around 1861, the video states, "....some of the northern states realized that they didn't need slaves." In 1767 the American anti-slavery movement began to effectuate groupings of manumissions and an ever-increasing stream of manumissions. In 1780 the Province of Pennsylvania enacted an Emancipation Act. By 1860 nearly 200,000 free black Americans lived north of Maryland and over 200,000 free black Americans lived in the South. Free black Americans were zealously engaged along with white abolitionists in the effort to free their 3 1/2 million enslaved brethren. The South resorted to violence to stop the progression and lost the war that it started. If Donald Trump is elected to a second term of office, progress on the S Line project will end.

Indeed. I only had 8 minutes to explain the whole history of the S-Line itself but the reasoning of the war can be simplified to Northern States being over the unnecessary enslavement of people (especially considering the advancement in technology) and didn't want it to spread across newly created states to the point they were willing to die about it. It was a fight over economic strategies and 'control" (in more ways than one).
