Freight Rail Roads Start Cutting Services Today

god damn - do you even look into the stupid shit you say? maybe if you did, you'd say a lot less stupid shit - but i have serious doubts.

costs about $500mil A MILE. we're well over a trillion dollars for 1 system at that point.

Amtrak estimates that it would cost $500 million per mile to turn its Northeast Corridor route into a true high-speed system. At these prices, it would cost at least $1 trillion to build a national HSR system, and likely much more. High-speed rail is the “fetch” of transportation ideas.




That is for a PASSENGER SYSTEM! To be able to handle freight at those speeds you multiply the cost by ten.

Land might be cheaper in the Mojave desert than the industrial northeast.
 
Easy money. Perhaps we should build another nuke sub that will never fire a missile or another squadron of planes that will never drop a bomb. That makes much more sense

You’re right. It does make more sense.

Were your head not so far up your ass you would know I am not in favor of those expenditures, but that is just a diversion from the fact that you have no clue how much it costs to build things.
 
We need a high speed freight rail instead of tens of thousands of trucks taking one container at a time from the coasts to the middle of the nation; 300-400 containers at a time.
We already have trains hauling hundreds of containers at a times, coast to coast. Dozens per day. Takes about 7 days.
The only time a truck hauls a "container" coast to coast is when the customer wants/needs it there in less than 7 days.
 
Did you know that chlorine and other chemical for our water treatment plants are shipped by rail?

ALOT of oil is shipped by rail (because of democrats problem with pipelines)...got gas? :D
