The auto and truck have done far more damage to railroads than the airplane.The plane is basicly a passenger carrier,( there is air freight,but this is very expensive)but the truck and auto first made branch lines unprofitable,then made inroads into mainline railroading.
Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.

Was it the Automobile, Jet Engine, or Air Plane?
What now or in the future do you see hurting the railroads?
