“We are in a depression and these arseholes keep saying we are doing better”

Rail might be doing better in this climate. The railroads do best when the cost of fuel is high. On the long hauls, railroads use 1/4 the fuel that long haul trucking uses (something on the order of 600 BTU/Ton-Mile as opposed to 2400 BTU/Ton-Mile). That factors into the other costs of transport (labor, infrastructure, time) and the lower fuel usage tips the scale toward rail for freight transport.

One must remember that the richest families in America made their fortunes at the crest of the Great Depression... someone is always going to make money... but the reality is we are in a depression and the things that the government are doing are going to make it deeper and more prolonged. We may never recover and that is the truth.
