    Part of the discussion with US rail is that American rail carries some freight service and it would be better environmentally to maintain that service than go all passenger.

    For profit companies have shown themselves as being bad at running freight rail, but the solution to public rail needs to include freight.

      If anything, we need to double down on freight. Get all the long haul trucks off the highways that we can.
