 American Rail



Expand(reinstate) Inter-city and regional rail freight service with new routes using existing Interstate System intersecting to existing major rail routes,Hubs and terminals.
I am fully aware of the disassembly of the prior Right of Ways throughout the country and realize the impossibility of reclaiming those in entirety,but some remains near important routes in Industial areas that now use long haul trucks to ship what once moved by rail,leaps and bounds in fuel savings could be achieved  by stepping back and making a big push for a return to Nation Wide Rail Freight Service to more points and markets .
Likewise,Light Passenger Rail must be increased to ease city congestion and again reap fuel savings from the decreases in the vehicle numbers. Free flowing highways and streets increase fuel savings and emissions.
Contracts and Labor generated to implement this could fall under a Government Public Works or Job Corp,ect to provide work to AMERICAN workers and Companies.
This is do-able. Just add Leadership and Americans will do what we do Best.
