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.

I have ideas, but I've already spent a bunch of time arguing with your dismissive comments. Now you're all ears?

Yeah it's the second time I've asked

In between dismissing everything else I've said. And honestly, I don't believe you're not just going to come back with "but nobody else in the world does it this way!"

Get more parcels/mail onto rail? Possibly not overnight, but 2/3 day parcels?
-
So long as that wouldn't turn them into 5/6 day parcels, sure--it always comes back to "why aren't they doing this already?"
-
It would probably need a national HSR (or at least HrSR) network built mostly for passengers which accommodates express freight

-
Like in France, altho freight rail mode share there has been in steady decline since the 80s
-
The only freight on the LGVs though was La Poste, which has ceased.
