If more subsidies were given to railroads, instead of to the maintenance of trucks and highways (an inherently more destructive form of shipping and transport) perhaps it wouldn't be so hard for railroads to carry work for a larger number of customers. Maybe this won't be a problem in twenty years or so, when oil productions peaks and cheap oil is no longer a reality, and the public and the government might realize the obvious benefits (environmental and cost-effective) that railroads hold over highways for both passenger and freight transportation. But as it stands now, we're still living in the delusion of the cheap oil and highway age. But railroads built this country, and they will resume their control over it once again, I rest assured.
