For all its development of infrastructure on a massive scale, US woefully lacks railway infrastructure. Last week end, I was travelling from Dallas to Fort Worth, a distance of 40 KM. These are twin cities of Texas. But the railway track is not even double for most part. The railway stations at both the places are woefully inadequate. Compare that with the stations in India. The Central station in Chennai is a massive structure buzzing with people (for that matter, every place in India buzzes with people, cynics may say) and has so many trains coming and going.

Fort Worth is a small town and a picturesque one too. Both Dallas and FW are sparsely populated and so you don’t get the din and bustle of Chicago or New York.
