I don't know why more rail isn't used -- not only for freight, but in lieu of air travel. Certainly, between major cities.

I used to have to commute from Dallas to Houston some, and I always wondered why someone hasn't done high speed rail on that route. Same with LA to Los Vegas and other key routes.

Air travel is such a loser in the long run.

Any other organization could have made money on it, but Amtrak thinks it is living in the 1930s. There is no reason they can't have high speed rail, profitably, between major cities all over the country. But if you want to take Amtrak from Dallas to Chicago, get ready for a long-assed ride.
