    Yes, you definitely need to turn every street in town into rails in order to replace over-the-road trucking. That is 100%$ how it works.

        Pretty much just eliminate OTR trucking in favor of rail. Mostly eliminate heavy trucks in towns, in favor of smaller box trucks.

          You do realize the amount of extra track and train, you would need to offset the use of freight trucks on highways don’t you, let alone the increase in smaller box trucks as well.?

          I am simplifying a little but that is how the trucking industry started because rail was not able to keep up with demand for goods logistics.

            Pretty sure it’s because we stopped investing in rail and started subsidizing trucking instead.

            You do realize that rail is vastly more effecient to move goods than frieght trucks don’t you?

          I was not asking about political handwaving. When you dismissed tram tracks in every street, I expected something more substantial as an alternative.
