Jerry Brown also invoked “The Little Engine That Could,” in his 2013 State of the State address. This book is apparently a powerful influence for America’s thought leaders today, similar to how America’s founders were influenced by European political scientists, Greek philosophers, and the Bible.

The one way fare from Baltimore to New York for a standard train is $72. For the high speed Accela its ~$120. If you take a curb side bus it’s $17. The bus takes 15 minutes longer than the standard train.
