That is a huge part of the problem with our rail. We either need a second line or to prioritize passenger rail over frieght.

We need transit to be faster and ideally more convenient than a car for people to really shift. It would be nice to get national service running more competitively with airlines but i think the prioirty should be on improving regional rail first.
