<p>So what does a good route look like? Is it one that makes money or at least breaks even? How many passengers would it need to carry to be classified as a good route?</p> <p>If passenger rail had even a remote possibility of covering its costs, the question of a good route would not be debtable. Investors would rush to invest in a good route, i.e. one that would enable them to earn a return on their investment.</p> <p>Hopefully the All Abord Florida and Texas Central Railway projects will be good routes for their investors. If they turn a profit for their investors, they will be. If they don't the investors, as opposed to the taxpayers, will have to eat the consequences. Which is the way it should be for a commercial enterprise!</p>
