But also unexpendable.
And ironically, people who seem to hate trains the most, are the same who seem to need them the most.

Because it’s a giant, purpose built and limited production quantity vehicle. I mean...was it really a mystery why trains are expensive?

In the US, the factors that make passenger trains a crappy situation, are the same things that make freight trains a killer deal.
Speed: freight can go slow with no issue. People don’t want to wait.
Volume vs. stops: Many small people wanting to go many different places. Large amount of cars going to the same places.
Timeliness: A load of coal is delayed 12 hours, not usually a huge deal. A passenger train is delayed 12 hours, major deal!
Payments: Processing hundreds of small payments. Processing a handful of commercial vendors.

When choosing to have good passenger rail and all freight transported by truck, or the opposite, I choose the opposite.

Wow, shills for GE have infiltrated Oppo. I hope the free ET44C4 was worth it.
