This writer, Board Member of a Railway Historical Society, would like to fine tune Mr. Moyers' railway views. Frustrating to write to a room full of railway talkers with few having a clue of what the railway is and what our comprensive US railway matrix did. We are at the leading edge of a 3-front war; as it evolves, starvation will be more deadly than radiation and hazmat combined... Truck based food distribution shall not be reliable. See Peter Vincent Pry paper to US Congress on EMP impacts to food transport. This subject was/is not about votes so gubmint ain't interested. In fact, private initiative shall be paramount...
Even if you have a trunk rail line going thru your town or city, is there provision (container lift or trailer ramps at ends of sidings) to transfer rail cargo to local delivery trucks/trailers, etc.? Spur tracks into urban warehousing, food processing, refrigerated perishables storage? The naysayers are blithely unaware of the fact the rogue dictators are absolutely calling US Food Supply as target #1 in native language speeches. Their military leadership calls out US food transport as highest priority target for attack & sabotage in their strategic doctrine papers.
Even the religion of peace; Islam calls on believers to poison food supply and wells and, the Qur'an authorizes cannibalism of subdued enemies (infidels). Denied by our P.C leadership, ISIS has infiltrated the cartels and include schooling on cannibalism. They are now among us, have wheels & guns: give thanks and praise to Mr. Mayorkas and "diversity"! Circa WWI, bicycles killed urban streetcars; in this later generation bicycles killed rural branch line railroads, their Ag District functionality notwithstanding. For example, Sacramento lost a very productive food supply rail branch line to Isleton, owing to NIMBY pressure. Start with highway/rail intermodality.
