Train system needed for increasing population
The Gazette Opinion Staff

I feel our country should develop a modern train system to help accommodate our nation's growing population with their transportation needs. Airports and automobile highways are not a complete answer. We do not want to keep making our highways wider and our airports more crowded.
Our country truly needs another mode of travel, a train system updated to a modern style for a smooth ride and also generate a more efficient railroad system.
Our country should start spending more money to develop a modern train system.
