  Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back

      Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)
