fellas I might need to put out a general transportation plan - railways (duh) - limited-access highways tolled - reduced lane widths & hwy cross-section in urban areas - bus system to feed train stations & close gaps in rail network etc etc
then u need smaller trucks/smaller batches shipping by rail is not practical for goods that are lightweight, high value, or time sensitive; only about 5% of freight goes by train in Japan (and also in Massachusetts!)

Smaller trucks are reasonable but North America's landmass + heavy industry require hella freight to maintain.
-
yes and on a continental scale, a lot of it is cheap heavy stuff with low time sensitivity, so rail is very successful but on the *local* scale of massachusetts, most of that freight needs to go by road
-
Oh without a doubt. Pan Am is America's worst shortline railroad, also.

Japan is an island and MA has lost all heavy industry.
