Which is something to keep in mind when people talk about blue states being net Federal tax payers and red states being net Federal tax receivers.
The interstates and railways through ID, WY, or NE aren't there for the people of those states - there to connect CA and WA to the east coast.

- Miner49er 10y agoThis is correct for probably most of the railroads in Wyoming. Not sure about the other states mentioned but probably true for them too.
- kerbalspacepro 10y agoI'm pretty sure those rails/roads are there to collect and connect the corn that the blue states pay for and subsidize.

How else are the people of those states going to get the things they produce (whethee by mining, farming, or otherwise) to outside domestic or, by way of seaports, overseas markets?
