> I'd call us rail best in the world

ever heard of Japan or Switzerland or China or ...?

The USA moves an incredibly insane amount of bulk goods by rail ridiculously long distances.

It’s so insane that it’s probably too cheap and we should do something else, but there are trains full of petroleum because a pipeline hasn’t been built.

And if coal is being brought to Newcastle it likely crossed the USA in a bulk train.
