What is sad is the Americans have allowed our rail system to go to pot while giving the trucking lobby such power that no effort to ever have a long term view and rebuild an effective rail system will never get started.
Our reliance on inefficient, high energy consuming transport while ignoring investment into an efficient systems is sad. While we continue to allow more and more diesel spewing heavy trucks that get heavier and more destructive, we have greater repair costs and no effort to develop rail for people and for goods.
