I returned to Japan for the first time in more than 10 years, and was surprised to find that the subway and JR train cars have been upgraded, and acceleration is much faster than before.
However, American trains are unusually slow.

Mr. Motor Sound,

＞ Acceleration is much faster than before

The development of the Japanese transportation system, highways and railroads is extraordinary from the outside.

Around 40:42 / 2:02:26 of this video, we are entering a tunnel with two highway piers overhead that must have cost a lot of money. The railroad is single track, diesel, and single colo, because there is no demand for it, but they are able to pass a highway through such a rural area with a bang. Is it Japan's economic power?

I too feel that urban commuter trains are frequently updated. The acceleration is great, but the deceleration is also slowing down violently without affecting the passengers. More than 10 years ago, I was surprised at the speed at which the front of the Yamanote line entered the station. The speed at the top of the platform was about the same as the previous speed, but when it came to the other end of the platform, it stopped without shaking the passengers. I felt that this was an amazing technology. The driver's skill was not particularly high, and one out of several was a young lady. I wonder if this is a form of discrimination.

I can't make 88 places in LA here and now, but I can suggest that you make a pilgrimage to some of the missions built by Spanish conquistadors in California in the past, which are not religiously related, and make them your destination.

There is a San Fernando Mission near my house that I can get to in half a day and back, and there is one in Santa Barbara and another in San Juan Capistrano, much further south. It is 85 miles from my house, and even if I walk a little over 30 km a day, it would take me 4 days each way.

The next closest one to my house after San Fernando Mission is San Buenaventura Mission in Ventura City, which is 51.5 miles (82.4km) one way including two mountain crossings on a road that people can walk on. It would take about two and a half days one way. However, if you choose the shortest road, there are no hotels or motels. The distance to Ventura is also very long, and the distance to the inland valley is about 1.5 miles. Also, Ventura city is in the inland valley and it is over 100℉ during the day in this season. I guess it's pretty tough.

Sangevre Mission, burned down to nothing.
The exterior of the building seems to have survived, but I worry about what is going on inside.
It is a pity that it is a historical building.
