Consumers don't want rail. If they did, we'd see Amtrak and urban light rail systems running full. They are not.
The government began to build roads in the early 20th century because it was so obvious that people were snapping up cars as soon as they were built. No activists had to convince us that car travel was good -- it was self-evident.
Rail activists are telling us what they think is good for us. They are a tiny, albeit powerful, minority and we must stop them. Every dollar spent on rail is a dollar that could have been invested in something profitable.
I do think a high-speed rail line between L.A. And Las Vegas would ha e a high chance of profitability.
