So in part, yes because of that's what we spent the money on and also yes, because we can do things with roads that we can't do with rail.
With rail, you generally don't want over 0.5% grade, maybe 1.5% grade. With roads 5% grade is considered no big deal, 8% for freeway ramps, and mountain roads commonly being 15-20%. Also turns can be much tighter with roads.
It's much much cheaper to do roads, particularly through hilly or mountainous terrain.
