Have you much experience of rail travel in the USA other than the main East Coast lines?
The HSE would close it down in a heartbeat, stops without platforms, rails running down the centre of the main streets, road/rail crossings without barriers - that information is first hand on just a few trips I made - Yes some very spectacular journeys but they are in the minority.
Did you ever attempt to find out what the cost of the American railways are to the government?
