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)
What english speaking country has both ‘high school’ and trains?
Edit: ok turns out the twitter account is based in LA
New York City
We do have trains in the US, they’re just awful in most places.
Australia
I live in three different cities and in those cities, people use train, subway, and trolley interchangeably.
We have both of these things in Canada.
England
England doesn’t have high school, here it’s secondary school and sixth form
I went to a high school in England. We had first (1-4) middle (5-8) high school (9-11).
I also had this format but apparently it’s not usual. I’m guessing by your username you’re Scottish, or at least Northern
When/where was this? I thought the system I had in east anglia was standard across the country
West Midlands, about 20 years ago. You would think there’d be some standardisation, but the more people I meet the more random it all seems.
Wait we can’t do that we’re British
Chicago
American cities have limited local rail networks, at least some. Like New York and Boston and err, the other ones…

Ahh I see, I guess it doesn’t rule out the tweeter being American then

Woah that’s a lot more rail than I was expecting!
Yup turns out the tweeter is in LA
“And the rest…here on Gilligans Island!!!”
We have trains in Utah, and high schools.
We haven’t been known for trains in a while, but America
I guess he could have meant subway by train
We already have light rail and even heavy rail commuter trains in many places.
