110km = 68 miles (or about one hour of car travel on many US interstate highways)

Something something Americans will do anything but travel by train for short distances.

Edit: apparently y'all are unfamiliar with the meme, and as such taking my comment at 100% sincerity instead of the intended 38%. Also I'm an American myself, so the only intended disrespect was of the self-depreciating variety.
