Jock, <br />What about BNSF, Amtrak, and FedEx getting together on a LD LA/Chic passenger/express train? Slide on containers similar to those used on FedEx planes could be carried in maybe all-door "baggage cars" (rather than intermodal which FedEx doesn't do). There would be major incentive to stay to schedule and high-value revenue to help make the train financially successful. Government mail contracts supported many trains years ago. Not thinking FedEx traffic would be handled at intermediate stops.
