Trainsforming America (2012)

There is no doubt that Americans live in a car culture. Many U.S. citizens don't know what it would be like to live in a train culture. The population of the U.S. is on track to add over 100 million people to the country by the year 2050. Airports and highways are already over crowded. This film takes a look at what expanding passenger rail service in America would look like, as well as asking passengers what they think about increasing rail investment. Would they use it? Would it be a waste of money? Why is building high speed rail in California so urgent?
