>>> Total cost per passenger-mile: $2.22

This figure is totally amazing to me. Just astounding -- when compared, for example, with the CASM of the airline industry, this is truly eye-opening.

I have long thought certain rail routes would make sense, but this does make me question whether there is any way at all for rail to be a profitable passenger venture.
