Autistic person here: we’re often stereotyped as having an obsession with trains. I can’t even really argue with it cuz a lot of those in the autistic community really DO have trains as a special interest (not me but I see the appeal and could totally imagine myself getting into it)
China has bullet trains running a distance equivalent to most of the east coast that only take like 4 hours and leave EVERY 20 MINUTES. Imagine taking the train from NY to Florida (or from anywhere to anywhere in this country) and not stressing about missing it because the next one’s just about ready to depart whatever time you happen get there
