Huh interesting... Is the cost of shipping on each line regulated or do they each charge their own rate?

Technically no, the rails were deregulated in 1980s with motor carriers. Collusion creating a monopoly is a better description

My post was half joke but we are so far from Pvp this thread needs to be moved to off topic. Kinda interesting but I'm a nerd irl that way.

Here are the statistics for inter-us shipping. Trucking is still by in large the most common way to move something across the United States. Railroads are more efficient but not as prevalent as the government would like it to be. The DOT has a ongoing campaign to shore up the railroad infrastructure in the U.S in order to make the leap from trucking to RR's.

Also, currently the rails are running at like 28%. Norfolk and the rest of them want to keep it as low as possible while doing just enough that the gov't doesnt get involved and force them to increase cap.

Also Ames, they are defining rail as rail cars,tankers, ect. They are pulling intermodal out of that data (also old data @ 2002).

Cazadero and San Pablo Railroad was a 60-kilometer (37 mi), 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge line built in 1896 as the Ferrocarril Cazadero La Torre y Tepetongo from an interchange with the Mexican Central Railroad (Ferrocarril Central Mexicano -- Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México after 1909) at Cazadero La Torre southwest through Nado to the sawmill community of San Pablo in Estado de México. Passenger service began to Nado in 1897. The line was reorganized as the Ferrocarril Cazadero y Solis in 1906. Lumbering and railroad operations were suspended during the Mexican Revolution; but the line resumed operations in 1922 as the Ferrocarril Cazadero y San Pablo. Thirty kilometers (18.6 mi) of logging branches were constructed around San Pablo. The forests were completely harvested, and operations ceased after World War II. Three locomotives surviving the revolution were sold to sugar plantations, but rails remained in place for another decade.
