Presumably you think the private freight companies built their railroads without government subsidy. Every railroad built in Texas either received a federal land grant, a state land grant, or even a local land grant... <br /> <br />However, it didn't take long for the railroads to sell that land, did it? The railroads had to raise funds PDQ to pay off their loans.... <br /> <br />If you ever decide to spend a vacation in Europe, please ride one of those cheaper than airplane ticket TGVs in France, you might come to another conclusion which form of transporation is modern and which is not.....If the automobile industry was so great, why haven't the trucks taken over all of the freight business by now. If you put your brain to it, you might come up with the same answer why airlines cannot replace a high speed train traveling 4 hours.......
