The reason that trains in the US run late is that private industry owns the tracks
and give freight trains(i.e., lumber and pigs) priority over passengers (i.e., people).
So much for privatizing.

A famous line from The Third Man:

... in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

“”land of chocolate, cheese, and cuckoo clocks”"

I dream of the day, when one or hopfully some americans will
know that no clock bigger than a pocket watch ever came from
Switzerland

Cuckoo clocks (and a lot of other wall clocks) come from Germany!

I recommend You write this 10 times. Or better a 100 times!

That’s when we have trains at all. Still waiting for the long promised light rail line from Athens to Atlanta.
