Thread Name: BS: Railways vs highways
Subject: BS: Railways vs highways
Many of the worlds great railways are in decline (i.e. Canada).
Many consumer goods are now transported by truck. This requires bigger highways and congests existing ones.Given the energy situation, Is this not short-sighted? Is it not more economical to transport goods by railways than truck? Is your railway in decline? Are some countries bucking this trend? How can this be turned around?
