True. But native Alaskans don't pave everything over with malls and parking lots. ========= Also you can't have a rail line that goes on for thousands of miles without any maintanance stations, rest stops, etc... I'm worried that small towns will pop up along the route, as more trade occurs along the route the towns will grow and then the shit hits the fan from there.
