The piece urges federal aid to upgrade passenger service, likening railroads to airlines already subsidized and noting trains could relieve crowded skies and offer faster point-to-point trips up to 500 miles.

Following Perfect Love: Comfort From 1 John 4:18
The verse teaches fear vanishes through mature love that God expresses. To apply it, seek divine love in faith, reflect on Jesus’s sacrifice, and choose trust over fear. Prayer, scripture meditation, and acts of love toward others reinforce this安心.
