We have rail infrastructure…it just happens all be mostly owned by freight rail companies

We do, but it's really scaled back compared to what we used to have. There are so many scars of abandoned rail lines all over major cities where they were torn out and replaced with road infrastructure. So many central train stations that are shadows of their former selves.
