David Foster Rail Quotations

To divert meaningful volumes of through-trucks from I-81 in Virginia, the upgraded rail line would need to handle six new trains per hour, not per day.

You get more bang for the buck expanding capacity with rail than by building more lanes. The Eisenhower Interstate System is now mature. We need similar vision for the 21st century. We don't just need more lanes of pavement. We need to ask how we?re going to move freight in this country. And the answer should include rail.
