Peter, you're kidding about environmentalists not wanting trains improved, right? Trains would be a much better arrangement for the moving of stuff than trucks, and a lot of people know it. But the subsidy for trains falls so far behind the subsidy for trucking (because what else do you call the billions poured into road building and maintenance than a subsidy?) that they can't compete well today.
