As a cyclist these trails are great and I'm glad they're being invested in. As someone who likes mass transit, it makes me sad to see how much of our rail system is gone. I would've loved to be able to relax in a railcar while traveling across the mountains and along the rivers. Imagine eating in a dining car and outside your window are the cascades going by.
And they suck because it takes forever to get on a plane, which means that locations that would take 2 hours to take a train to will take at 2+ hours on an airplane when you factor in the security hell.
