How about if we just destroy the rail industry and replace it with millions of trucks and truckers.
Are you suggesting that the rail (passenger and freight) industry wasn't demolished by free market forces, but that the federal government intervened and propped up the trucking and bus industries by subsidizing the construction of the interstates, and by enforcing draconian anti-trust regulations on the railroads?

Not passenger at all, freight.
