I would think that Kansas City would be a bigger hub since it already has a lot of rail through there and is more central in the country.

for freight, not passenger rail, which is what high-speed rail is primarily designed for

Freight rail is a lot less than it should be as well.

It is also owned by Private Industry without clear rules on what they can charge in that more than it should be.

The rails were only made with eminent domain, Private Industry should not be able to screw people on it, or give preference to large companies over people and small ones.
