Why don't the Americans have, by far, the lowest cost, highest speed, most efficient rail system in the world ? The negative multiplier effects, of 80 years of a "profit before throughput" philosophy, are beyond quantification, have painted the Nation into a corner & can't be fixed. However it is possible to improve throughput by nationalizing the rail system & leasing track-time to state & private carriers. High-Speed rail-feeder cargo, "single-stack" containers, is critical for higher value goods, while slower speeds accommodate lesser value goods & empty containers., & bulk operations. When the public understand the real cost of private rail systems, there is a chance they will demand greater throughput because of opportunities for lower cost communities.

It's interesting to watch people who claim to "love" this country wish for failure. Thanks Secretary Buttigieg. You've done a great job trying to bring our rail system into the 21st century. Unfortunately, that momentum won't continue because WE KNOW the track record of the person who's taking over.

Pete hasn't brought anything to transportation just like he didn't do anything for south bend Indiana, so nothing from nothing, but then it says a lot about the North American government and the people that R appointed to positions, enough said.

You can expect, just like California's rail system, which hasn't been completed in years to follow suite. Money laundering at it's best... Hey Minnesotians, expect to be it may be completed in 2040 with it costing 5x the amount..

How about all the railroads has been exempt there are a lot of railroad it's not being used why they cannot rebuild it

Great to see so many rail projects moving forward. Transportation is key to connecting communities and driving economic growth. #Infrastructure #SupplyChain #Trucking #AerieVentures #EconomicGrowth

Great to see. It's probably cheaper to rail all the illegals around the USA than flying them cross country which I've seen first hand. Is this the same Biden-Harris Administration that sold the already paid for southern wall pieces for $5 on auction since they didn't want to finish it?
