    TBH I think the best case scenario is auto manufacturers get into the train business. Sure it’d take a while but it makes sense from a mechanical and supply chain perspective.

    Not holding my breath on that one though…

      this is passenger rail though. The US freight rail system (for supply chain as you say) is very good already

        I meant auto manufacturers could start building trains, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Ya know?

          That would be a huge shift from what they did in the 40s by dismantling a very robust public transit system.

          Though BYD is building trains if that counts.
