re: #113 William Lewis

Thanks for the thoughts. I’ve requested the book from our library so if nothing else that will be fun :) I got used to real trains in Europe with the Army in the early 80’s so I’ve been missing them for decades.

It’s an easy read, but well documented. His coverage of China’s high speed rail is a little out of date, because the system has expanded so rapidly, and I’d quibble over some of his details. But, China has effectively built a rapid transit system for its military, should they ever need to commandeer the trains for troop movement.
