Going into high gear on this idea would put lots of people back to work, that is, if that is what you really want to do.

Going into high gear on this idea would put lots of people back to workPutting people to work on projects that consumers don't want is not only a waste of money, it is also a diversion of raw materials and capital from products that consumers do want.
Spending billions on rail will cause prices on those items to rise just as surely as building too many houses caused building materials to rocket in price. It will cause profitable businesses to have to compete with the unneeded rail for the capital goods that keep them in business.
There are a lot of knock-on consequences to the economy that the administration and the train-bugs don't realize, don't understand and probably don't care about.
