Anyway, my point from the get-go still stands: it's not clear how much more freight we realistically *can* carry by rail, as we already carry a greater share by rail than most other industrialized countries, whereas those with better passenger rail mode shares carry less freight.

Right, the logistics world is full of assholes who put more priority on moving their piece of shit from one place to another than some child's life. That's no way to do logistics.https://capntransit.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-safety-culture-of-northern-boulevard.html …

lmao how are you gonna call this a problem with the logistics industry and not with our road design standards--how many more people get hit by cars?

You know, it's possible for something to be caused by a combination of multiple factors...

yeah, exactly--which is why I'm baffled by your obsession with trucks as a primary factor (again re: Japan--higher truck mode share but much safer streets!)

Did you ever get around to reading the first post I linked?

You mean "No More Freight Hostages," right? Yes; the difference is I don't at all expect we can (or should) eliminate cars entirely from the transportation picture. They offer concrete advantages for people, which goes back to this point:https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/1047904567327903744 …
