Well, look at a map. Which ones does Amtrak serve with some degree of
frequency that connects to the others?

.. . . and the list of cities with **some** electric traction is not
exhaustive, either . . . just examples.

In any case, citiesandtown and exosuburbs that are built on the economics of
cheap gasoline will hurt mightily. The biggest problem the Northeast will
have will be heating oil costs, because the legacy of anthracite is a
greater relative dependence on oil.
