Railways???

They were mainly laid down in the 19th century! The US has virtually no modern high speed rail & many of its great cities are well short of having satisfactory metro/urban rail/tram networks.

The US has the largest rail network by length in the world. High-speed rail lags in comparison to other countries, but as always, people take that criticism as meaning that the US is actually worse off than other countries, rather than just being a flaw that needs improvement.

Ranking nations rail infrastructure based on miles laid is insanity. You just need to book one train journey outside a city in the US and in germany/switzerland/UK to know this. The only place I have seen less useful passenger train infrastructure than the US is Canada
