Trucking companies don't own the highways.
Airlines don't own the air corridors.
These are owned, regulated and managed by the Public.
The main-line railroads must also be part of the Public infrastructure. Then the traffic would be managed and regulated in the *Public* interest, as opposed to the commercial interests of private corporations.
The abuses of the UPs and Nofu¢k Southerns of the world convince me that #railroads must be #nationalized.

Idea: Let’s not screw up our train system just as it’s getting good - https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/10-02-2026/idea-lets-not-screw-up-our-train-system-just-as-its-getting-good
