Why don't Americans have train culture?
If you ever did this, your childhood was awesome
Because we're free and like to drive ourselves, not let someone else drive us around.

>train culture
You know a country is backwards as shit when they're wondering why the US isn't stuck in the wild west days.
>>60599273
No we don't.
>>60598013
the ghan, indian pacific and the overland are all touristy with tourist prices and not really for commuters
>>60599349
>entire country was covered in train tracks
>there was even a station in my tiny ass village
>get independence
>the new government closes tons of stations
>tracks fall into disrepair

what the fuck are you talking about you drooling retard? america has the best freight network in the world, by far. just because americans can afford cars and plain tickets and so don't use this cattle transport for people doesn't mean they don't have train culture.
this is the stupidest thread i've ever seen

KHAN'D
>>60598013
Is that the route the Mongolians took when you were KHAN'D?
The Ghan must be boring as fuck
3000km of this
>>60599273
Wish we had better public transport tbqh sick of paying the car insurance jews

How much does it take to go from Darwin to adelaide by train?
>>60601119
also, is there literally nothing in the northwestern coast of australia?
>>60600516
Why snap? I'm getting those delegates Don.
>>60601119
54 hours, 3000 km
>>60601158
National parks and tourism mostly, it is a very isolated place
>>60601158
There's a town called Broome
where's the area in which the city is always infested with deadly spiders?
>>60601461
Sydney if you're talking about the funnel web, it's our biggest city
>>60601501
it's a big city but how can spiders still manage to get into people's houses?
>>60601655
Because they crawl into shoes and dark places, and they get in because most Australians keep a window or door open during summer
Nobody has died from a spider bite here since the 1970s though
>>60601725
When I was down there I met this person who had a big scar/crater on his foot were a spoidah bit him. Apparently he it gave him some fucked up infection and he needed nurses to scrape his dead flesh out of the bite area for weeks. shits fucked.

Americans had a train culture. Trains used to be integral for transport of everything. So integral they grew into giant monopolies and that's why Americans adopted the cars so quick - they didn't have to pay the train jew anymore.
>>60602781
I'm glad somebody understands why we aren't a big train country now. Though now our tax dollars subsidize the train jew.
>>60602099
That sounds like a recluse bite that was ignored too long. We get those in the US.

>>60602735
You and all the other 12 Tasmanians aren't missing out

>>60603071
only because australia is a barren shithole, it would make sense in america

Best to take a bike or you might end up getting your boypussy smashed by cannibalistic abos

If you don't live in the light green regions, you should probably kill yourself right now

Kimberley is where I want to be I'm not intimidated
>>60602699
what if the train breaks down?! terrifying
How much is a ticket from Darwin to Adelaide?
Is there booze on the train?
>>60604312
$1500 up
It's for tourists, nobody in the history of ever has needed to commute from Adelaide to fucking Darwin, and there is booze
If the engine breaks down they just send another one
>>60604384
almost £800, or $0.5/km
Kinda thing I'd like to do just for the sake of it t b h
How about Adelaide > Perth? Price? Time taken?
A train, 3000 miles of desert and nothing to do, sounds like an existential nightmare worth living
>>60602735
you guys need boats, not trains
>>60604466
train will be stocked with water
It'll be the only shade around
Air conditioning will remain in effect for awhile or possibly as long as possible even if the engine stopped
They'll be fine
>>60604466
>miles
km, not miles, I r fool
>>60602834
The corn jew is even worse
>>60604466
About 10 years ago the entire thing got stopped because of flooding and the air force landed a Hercules on a stretch of highway next to it to take the passengers back to Adelaide, the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) uses flatter areas as runways in case a local gets bitten by a taipan or something
>>60603337
the fuck did you just say about me you little bitch? say that to my face irl not online
>>60604728
calm down
>>60604658
neat
I guess as STRAYA is a developed anglo country you'd have this kind of shit down
>>60604658
Those tourists look so British it's funny
>>60605130
probably just locals who live in the middle of nowhere
>>60605130
