Get the regulations out of the way and the costs of running the trains drops like a rock.Eliminate all regulations, and the cost of running the train drops. But at the same time, wages drop. Personal wealth drops. Which means people can't afford to travel, which means there's less demand for passenger rail, which means the railroads can't sell tickets. Empty trains don't make profits, so the railroads won't run them. That is how the free market works. You aren't very smart, are you? and that is how the railroads worked at their best. When? The 1950s, heyday of luxurious streamliners? The 1920s, when railroads crisscrossed the country serving practically every little town? |
