New England is a prime tourist destination. I have children in Exeter. RR property is private so everyone should stay off. Like the highways, teach kids not to go near. I have been hearing about the return of trains for so many years.
Truckers are the RRs biggest customers.
If businesses are not in any hurry they should ship by rail. Carpooling lots already in place, etc. All modes are now being subsidized. But there are degrees of subsidy. Highway funds should stay in a special fund as per Art.
