It's definitely a cause for celebration simply because they don't (or can't) build anything right now. So whatever they make, it's relatively huge deal for them.
lol, funny
but tbf, the US did get it's first subway/metro trains as early as the late 1800s
Metro systems across the world have been in operation since the late 1800s and transport millions of commuters across cities every day.

Chicago ‘L’
The
Chicago elevated ‘L’ metro system in Illinois, US, began operating as an electrified system in 1897. With 230.2 million passengers in 2017, it is the second busiest metro in the US. There is a 24-hour service available on two lines of the network, which is only featured on four other rapid transit systems in the country.
The network is approximately 165km long with eight lines, which includes a loop in the city centre that services run through or circle to return to their starting point. Tower 18 junction located at the intersection of Lake and Wells in the ‘Loop’ is one of the world’s busiest railway junctions with six of the system’s lines running through it.
Stations in the Loop have undergone a number of changes, with the most recent being the closure of Randolph / Wabash and Madison / Wabash stations, which were replaced with the Washington / Wabash station in August 2017.
In June,
The Boring Company secured a contract to expand the network with a high-speed Chicago Express Loop link to O’Hare International Airport.

they moved to air travel for the most part for longer distances, and everyone family basically owns multiple cars, regular trains AMTRAK, cater either to the high end or are mostly freight routes.
People may hate on them all they want but advanced/developed economies are at a whole different level. Check how many people there have private pilot licenses and own their personal aircraft (cessna 172s etc)
