As I stated before the railroads are near capacity already. Obviously you have never sat in an Amtrak sleeper compartment on the Texas Eagle and waited two hours for seven Union Pacific freight trains in North Little Rock, Arkansas. And the train was on time, in its window, when it arrived in North Little Rock in the middle of hundreds of miles of double track on the former Missouri Pacific main line! This has happened to me both times when I rode the Eagle to Chicago to see my grandchildren. And yes, Texas Utilities, the largest electric/gas utility in Texas had to switch railroads from Union Pacific to Burlington Northern Santa Fe because Union Pacific could not deliever coal from the Powder River region ON TIME! Keep in mind TXU had to buy their own coal cars, because neither railroad could afford any! And if the railroads cannot afford to buy coal cars for a large utility that will depend on them for the next three decades or more, something is wrong with the railroads. And anyone who rides Amtrak knows what is wrong: THE TRACKS ARE SO POOR THE TRAIN GOES TOO SLOW! Averaging less than 30 mph in Texas! No wonder the Eagle cannot attract in Texas passenger traffic!
