Got it Casey. Am near Chattanooga. I-75 went from 2 lanes to 3 each way to and through ATL years ago. Helpful. But today the 18’s are slamming the super slab with such volume you get stuck behind a back door, can’t see shit and the 4’s ram up on you if your going less that 80-85 mph. Some A-holes will actually play lane tag at 90mph +. I…

Some A-holes will actually play lane tag at 90mph +. It’s a freeking zoo. Years ago they talked about an “Up the Middle” high speed train on stilts in the Freeway median between Knoxville/Chatt/ATL Hartsfield. No fuss no muss express and local connections. Cool. Exciting prospect. Then the numbers came out. Nada. So here we are. Orlando to Space Coast has a high speed line which is sweet. And a line dropping down to Miami. All new cars and engines. Disney runs some express service to their Cruise line boats at Cape Canaveral linking their busses to Disney World. It’s very Euro looking. Nice clean designs. Typical Disney artwork and paint schemes. Pretty fast. Mostly elevated with some surface track. Can buy trans packages from the Park or Orlando motel to your boat and back with no parking hassles. And air conditioned! So we can do it. But today at scale it’s a moon shot. And your thoughts about NE corridor right on. And getting dangerous.
I watched the City of Houston tear up the ex Katy tracks by I 10 so they could turn it into the widest freeway in North America because the city doesn't want to budget what they know will negate what's the easiest way to reduce smog output.
