Cities absolutely need freight I'm just weary of the "move more freight by train!" takes (I haven't read your linked post so I'm not accusing you of having this view)
what would it be called besides freight? it's not exactly passenger traffic

Well, it's not (or wasn't) counted in the US stats at all. http://zierke.com/web-page/eurostat_numbers …

That data is 14 years old...but assuming they still report that way: how much of a gap do you think it leaves? As it stands, the American data I found shows that the vast majority of freight is short-haul, the sorts of distances that Zierke says gets ignored by US stats
