Railroads: A 19th Century solution to 21st Century problems. Only make sense in very population dense locales. Most of the growth in the U.S. for the last 50-ish years has been in the Sunbelt, and is not particularly densely populated. People like elbow room, despite what the urban planners tell us.

Highways: A Roman Empire solution to 21st Century problems.

Your argument is a cliché, not a possible solution.

Are you referring to passenger or freight?

Our current system of moving so much freight in individual trucks over roads also has problems and huge inefficiencies.
