I've been, they loose millions on it a year and also have the geography to justify it. US is 26x bigger, not easy to run and be profitable.

Japanese railways generally make tons of money, u have no idea what ur talking about

Some passenger ones, most rely on government subsidies to survive. Rail around Tokyo is useful and worth it. Freight loses billions yearly.

The majority of passenger railways in Japan make money, not just around Tokyo. Freight rail in Japan loses money, but in the USA it makes quite a lot of money. Do you need citations?
