Sir, there’s nothin’ on Earth like a genuine bona fide electrified six-car monorail.  But that’s not quite what we’re talking about today.  We’re talking about railroads.  Specifically, railroads of yore.  Remember the good old days of the 19th century?  It was a time when Americans were being displaced by cheap foreign labor at the behest of billionaire tycoons, race relations were strained to say the least, and the government was mishandling funds on an unprecedented scale.  So basically, absolutely nothing has changed.
