I know things have changed significantly since the transcontinental railroad was built, but...
They built a railroad across the entire country in the time it takes "phase 2" to be built outside our nation's capital. Insane. We all deserve better.
The two companies that built the transcontinental railroad had armies of laborers, were paid by the mile, did not have to install sophisticated power and communication systems, did not build massive passenger stations every few miles and used locally sourced materials, exception being rail and spikes.
