    Amen. We are always like “but how will we find room for new rail?!”

    Well, those highway lanes are looking fucking good and we know adding them didn’t help traffic, so why not just take them back?

      Plus highways are costing states a fuckton to maintain and many are past their design life. About time we put something better in and stop listening to the automobile industry lobbying that got us into this in the first place.

        We’re way past maintenance on rail as well, but we are chugging along even with decades or as much of a century of past due maintenence. Not that it’s a good idea but it surely seems to last longer than highways and degrade more slowly
