A Modest Proposal: How to Bring Trains Back to Annapolis, MD... Maybe...

Bringing rail service back to places that have long lost it is becoming a more common topic in public discourse more generally, and there are many great ideas on how to bring passenger rail back to the communities that lost it long ago. However, there are a fair number of them that go unconsidered, even if the community stands to benefit from it. This is true even in the current powerhouse of passenger rail in the United States, the region of the Northeast Corridor. Many great ideas have been put forward and are being pursued, but there is a place that is growing rapidly, is close to the nation's capitol, is a state capitol in its own right, and in my view, has incredible potential if one were to realize it, even if the fruits of these ideas would only be born out many years from now if it were to start serious work today. As a contest entrant for Classy Whale and Stormy Kara's One Line More contest, I took it upon myself to look into how to bring rail travel back to Annapolis, Maryland. It's a place that has not seen a meaningful rail service since the 1930s, is growing considerably to the point that it is more than worth it to consider bringing a rail service back, and is a place that many people would dream of living around. But who would run trains out there again? Would it be a Metro service, a Light Rail, or even High Speed Rail! And how would it work in the first place, considering the realities on the ground? Well, get on board, and I'll tell you a few ideas, ones so crazy... that they just might work. A fantastic website on the history of rail travel in Annapolis: https://www.annapolisrailroadhistory....
