    But dood. Put a USPS fishbowl-connected car on the end with a sorter working inside and prepping for each stop, and watch FedEx sweat.

      Why sort in the train when you can sort ahead of time and maximize storage space? The ZIP code system allows for a national radix sort.

    Freight rail is a lot less than it should be as well.

    It is also owned by Private Industry without clear rules on what they can charge in that more than it should be.

    The rails were only made with eminent domain, Private Industry should not be able to screw people on it, or give preference to large companies over people and small ones.

  As would I. There is an existing line from Kansas City to Tulsa to OKC that has been talked about being opened for passengers for a couple decades.
