Seems silly to have rail lines being abandoned while more highways are built for multiple trips and vehicles. I'm a realist and I know we can't go back to a time when folks do all their regional travel by train, but we need to consider using them more often for trips, not just for commuting. Trains provide local jobs and a full train produces less pollution than the equivalent in vehicles on the roads. I hope the predictions they are coming back turns out to be true. Love trains.
