I'd like to steer you to an early Saturday morning FReepost referring to the Republicans on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The Republicans are crafting a bill which would entail spending $71 billion for new rail construction to ease congested passenger and freight transport. Committee Chairman Don Young (R-AK) deserves a "Thank you".

The Republicans are crafting a bill which would entail spending $71 billion for new rail construction to ease congested passenger and freight transport.

That infrastructure was there 25 years ago; Congress just let the constantly merging rails tear it all up because the rails didn't want to maintain it any more. They figured they could skinny down the route network and get by, cheaper -- well, they couldn't, and Union Pacific just proved it by tying itself in a knot last year.
