Only if rail can figure out their shit and hire enough workers and give them all time off. Too many train derailments from precision scheduled railroading.

Actually maintained rail shouldn't have this problem, but the private companies like Norfolk Southern spend the minimum amount to keep them operational.

With a budget just a fraction of highway upkeep and expansion they should be able to be kept in good repair.

Why bother with maintenance when the EPA handles the cleanup?
