Until such a time as railroad ton/mile rates no longer are less than Interstate Trucking ton/mile rates then the railroads should be left alone. Interstate Trucking is heavily subsidized through the building and repair of our interstate and highway network. Yet there are over 550,000 accidents/yr. involving a large truck. 1 in every 9 highway deaths are the result of an accident involving a large truck.

Better we subsidize an expanded rail network
