Rail's Second Coming

By The Daily Dish

Apr 18 2009, 8:55 AM ET

Ryan Avent likes Obama's rail plan:

...as was the case with highway construction, improved rail service will create its own demand. Faster, more reliable trains will attract riders and drive investment. New investment will attract new riders, and so on. The result will be a more balanced, reliable, redundant transportation system, that also happens to be more convenient and greener.
