More rail transport of freight and less heavy vehicle tire burners and polluters (?). Maybe a whole new generation of environmentalists will spring forth from the tabloid readers. Wow.

I agree. Especially about the improved railroad lines. Japan can produce high speed rail. Maybe the US needs to think ahead to that future. But, the US should NOT include the city of New York and other coastal cities like Miami and others on the East Coast because they will LIKELY be underwater by 2090. Take CLIMATE SCIENCE into consideration when making Federal decisions.
