“We are in a depression and these arseholes keep saying we are doing better”

Rail might be doing better in this climate. The railroads do best when the cost of fuel is high. On the long hauls, railroads use 1/4 the fuel that long haul trucking uses (something on the order of 600 BTU/Ton-Mile as opposed to 2400 BTU/Ton-Mile). That factors into the other costs of transport (labor, infrastructure, time) and the lower fuel usage tips the scale toward rail for freight transport.
