This country was built on railroads, and the remarkable and rapid economic development of America was largely due to the expansion of railroads across what was, at the time, a large and empty country. For this reason, I guess we all have a soft spot for the railroads. However, during the latter half of the 20th Century, other modes of long-distance transport started to develop and evolve. Long-distance freeways and Air passenger networks exploded in growth. For most of this time, the railroads stood still, and eventually found themselves languishing behind other types of transport. Recently however, with the globalisation of markets, the Railroads have woken up to the fact that they can still be an important player. But need to get out of their stubborn mentality of 'we'll do it our way', they need fresh ideas and a new outlook. Only then can we see the true Railroad revival that we all want to see. Interesting how you talk about great nations and Empires. Throughout history, all of the great empires the world has ever seen were driven by different transport methods. With the Mongolian empire, it was horses. With the Roman empire, it was roads. With the British, the Navy, and with America, the railroads.
