Doh, I’m a moron. I didn’t think railroad meant company.

And I think it’s funny that for me, Europe’s stereotypical representative will always be France. I see that I’m not alone.

[QUOTE=Švejk]  
\*\* question 5 is a bit odd, IMHO - AFAIK, trains are not a popular mode of transport in the US.  
[/QUOTE]

Not so much for long-distance travel, but commuter railroads are quite popular in Chicago and New York, among other metro areas, and Amtrak does good business along the Boston-NY-Washington (D.C.) corridor.
