is there railway in the United States?

There are still railways here but trains are not very popular any more. When you hear a train it is a very refreshing feeling. My fiance and I both live in the country (open fields and air) and yet we still do not hear it very often.

Yes, there are railways. There are two main ones that I know of. They are Amtrak and Union Pacific. According to the US Bureau of Transportation, in 2005 American travelled about 6 million million kilometers by car, and about 46 thousand million kilometers by rail. That means that Americans travel about 0.8% as much by rail as they do by car. The love affair with the automoblie is big. This is entirely the fault of the private citizen. The government has not given much money toward developing a reliable and efficient US rail system. If they were to do this, and promote it more, people may start choosing it, especially with the price of oil going higher.

We don't have the super fast trains here that they have in Asia and Europe. We have Amtrak which is just slightly faster than a bus. I like Amtrak too because I get to stay in my wheelchair, but most people are annoyed by Amtrak. However, I think ridership will increase because of gas prices. I hope this causes the government to spend more money on Amtrak.

yes there are railways... In the place where i am now we have railways in our town.. but I think the trans passing here are not passenger trans... they are cargo.. but there are some places near who have trans going to New York from where I am and even to other state.. but very few.. Air and driving a car is more popular now..
