There are two pivotal

strengths he has: 1. He's a businessman and 2. a hard bargainer. He'll
get what he wants and there will be no on-going hardship for
Americans. Warm, sun-dappled uplands await them.

If you set the scheduled speed slow enough the trains are unlikely to

Bring back horse drawn stages coaches and you can save even more money.

There was a famous public transport in Holland. You have a canal, and
there is a boat "trekschuit" drawn by a horse alongside the canal,
"jaagpad". Bring your laptop and you can do a lot of work travelling.
Much more comfortable than the diligence.

was a functioning society.
