  1. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Japan is the size of CA but 90% of the population lives in an area the size of NJ as the center of the island is relatively empty.

  3. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Then New Jersey can pay for it. There is no reason for Iowa to pay for a train going from Newark to Boston. If some guy wants to see his kid 15 min more a day he can pay for it. BTW, even CA can't seem to make rails pay. They have the highest population and are known for just burning money and...
  4. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Which is exactly my point, you said China's population density is just average and I was saying thats because half the country isn't really inhabited. The half that is is well above average density.

  6. TL-191: After the End

    Technically the only thing a human POD doesn't butterfly away is geological or astrological phenomena. If you're going for AH looser on the chaos theory (most uchronia, not that I'm complaining!), different patterns in greenhouse gas emissions from alternate human settlement and population...
  7. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    To be fair, peak rail included thousands of miles of short run and narrow gauge industrial railroads for mining and lumbering industry. I can tell you that the miles of total track in Wisconsin dropped during that time frame significantly, as the big pine forest were consumed and the trackage...

  10. AHC: Rename a country, that unified from a long-described region

    Bit of a cheat answer as it got used at one point, but the Netherlands could have easily become the Batvian Republic or the Batvian Confederacy at certain points, using the old Roman name for a tribe that inhabited the area. Honestly, a lot of old tribal names could be used for like how the...
  11. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Just out of curiosity, how big is japan compared to, say, the east coast of the US? I mean, I can't visualize it too well.
  12. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Large swaths of the US do have the necessary population density and did have both extensive freight and passenger traffic. The problem is that our culture demands a one-size-fits-all solution to every problem. Trains won't work in Kansas? Well, the can't work in New Jersey then, either. Quicker...
  13. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Look at the map above , the whole coast of China has high population density the US has nothing like that. Just relatively small areas here and there spread out.

    AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    USA hit peak rail in 1913. Interurbans and trolleys had been losing money before WWII, with rationing only a 4 year reprieve. The US decided instead, to have the best freight rail system on the planet, and left Passengers to Planes and Autos

    What are some likely convergences?

    Zanzibar as well. Another thing that comes to mind are cities on the middle of a river- where control of the course of the river is just as, or more important, as controlling the mouth. Paris, Vienna, Budapest come to mind.

  18. AHC: The US with a high speed rail system as prolific as in East Asia or western Europe

    Thats kind of misleading though tbh. Pretty much the entire western half of china is barely populated, the eastern half has a very high population density, and thats where most of the network is
