In 1905 we did'nt have the roads we now have. In fact, until Ike got the interstate highway system bill passed, most roads were 2 lane and very narrow. Also, in 1905 there were more horse drawn vehicles on our roads than gas engined. It wasn't until after WW11 that the auto and airplane took over as our main means of transport. That is what killed the passenger trains profitability.
