If the train doesn’t stop there then you also have the reduced revenue of people stopping for gas or food. So very minor reduced costs (most of which is actually federal highway money anyway) and reduced area revenues as the train flies by. Except of course people won’t actually be riding the train because it will be too expensive and on an inconvenient schedule. So basically you get what you have now and a train that flies by empty a few times a day.

That’s a bad argument to use because someone like myself will turn it against you and ask if you oppose Interstate Highways that pass by the downtowns and etc. and that have beggared small businesses that were not wise enough to relocate near to offramps.
