It also presupposes that the various host RR's are able to move a significant, large percentage of the population. Having--what?-- three trains, one of which doesn't run every day and another of which has proven itself quite capable of slipping off of CN/IC causeways without a drop of rain, would require the huge buildup the first post mentioned, and that just isn't feasible monetarily. However, Americans would probably be more likely to support the disaster-transfer scenario than an improve-the-rails philosophy, because many if not most Americans have allowed themselves to think that passenger trains are a quaint luxury in long-distance service.
