[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by daveklepper</i> <br /><br />There are publicly owned railroads, such as the Alaska. But every attempt to separate infrstructure and the trains seems to bring more problems than it solves. This was true with Britain and it seems to be true even in some respects with Amtrak and the freight railroads. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The key arguable aspect of the British open access experience is whether they have managed to increase rail freight capacity. By most accouts, it has to some degree, in spite of the inherent problems of a passenger dominated system. If so, then that suggests a similar capacity increase could occur in the U.S. with open access.
