What can realistically be done is increase rail's mode share in passenger traffic, reducing the mode share for private cars. This would have a larger impact on public safety & the environment than getting even more of our freight traffic onto trains, bc cars are so dominant.

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 …
