If it was a good deal, and a money maker, private business interests would be looking at this and lining up investors to pursue this rail project. The truth is that all rail in this country has to be subsidized by the TAXPAYER. The high speed rail projects being touted for this country are unworkable, unwanted and unsustainable.
