There are areas where there are enough customers and dense enough populations that railroads continue to make technological sense.

For the most part those areas are NOT in the United States.

There are areas where there are enough customers and dense enough populations that railroads continue to make technological sense.

Actually, almost every one of those areas are in the third-world, in places where there's no decent road network and very little private vehicle ownership.

Almost all of those passenger rail networks in europe and asia lose money & require subsidies from the taxpayer to remain in operation.
