Will it be worth the return on investment?

Perhaps not yet noticed: BNSF will spend 3.4 Billion in 2020 to enhance its railroad.

Rail and tie replacement are major items. Check the BNSF site on Trains web page.

It looks like this India Railroad improvement project will cost $59-billion.  It involves a lot of doubling of corridors to provide separate corridors for passenger and freight trains.
