American freight trains puzzle me as they appear to travel very slowly..

In a lot of instances, the track is in a really ****ty state.

I've travelled between New York & Philadelphia a few times by train, which
is one of Amtrak's flagship lines, and it's pretty crap ...


I've travelled on American buses (Greyhound and the like)
Ranges from crap to mediocre.
The best buses are in Brasil.
The worst are in Bolivia.
