        Remember folks: whenever people say that our railway system is working fine because of our high freight mode share, think of this map of rail freight tonnage by route Guess what? Certain kinds of freight, and certain kinds of corridors, make sense by train. Just like passenger!pic.twitter.com/7QRGDcQFvR

        Long overland trips + cheap bulky raw materials = ideal for freight, which is why the Wyoming coalfields dominate the previous map In Massachusetts, the freight rail mode share is about what it is in Japan (~5%). So why not use those tracks to carry more passengers, too?

        The ROWs already need some improvements...adding second, third, fourth tracks to them--alongside badly overdue signal improvements--could provide passenger capacity without reducing freight capacity. Which, I reiterate, isn't gonna need to be much higher anyway in places like MA

        The passenger vs freight dichotomy in rail transit is particularly irritating because the circumstances which favor each are almost perfectly divergent: in short corridors with high urbanization and diversified industry, freight rail just can't compete with road for most uses.

        By miraculous coincidence, these corridors are *optimal* for passenger rail. Imagine that! Meanwhile, there's not much passenger demand for long overland trips that terminate at a coal mine. How fortuitous! Let's build something together, folks...let's be ambitious!
