Here's a solution. Tax all railroad proerty and fuel and labor out of existence. Then the govenrment (local, county, state ,federal, take you pick) can mop up the unused rights of way for a song. (we won't discuss inverse condemnation here). Then with all the relatively flat and fairly wide rights of way, roadways can be constructed and restricted to only trucks. Extra long combination vehicles can be accomodated on these highways thus freeing the interstates for the passenger autos. These former rail routes serve industries directly, and old railyards can be paved into transfer areas, where the long combination vehicles can be split into single vehicles for local deliveries. Jurisdiction of these new roads will be under the FHWA just like any other highway. <br /> <br />Now you have most of the trucks off the interstates, Ma & Pa shippers would have access to anyone with a tractor. and the rates MUST go down, as there would be hundreds of people aggressively seeking everyone's business.
