The railroad network had to be rebuilt after WW2 in Europe and Japan. War can be good for something I suppose.

- brnt 3y agoIf by Europe you mean Germany, or by rebuilt mean maintenance, then, yes. The level of rail maintenance in America (barely any) is illegal in the rest of the western world. Tenders for maintenance specify certain speed and safety limits that basically require rebuilding every few decades. Only on private rail could a hedge fund approach work, where the capital of the infrastructure is extracted by way of not maintaining it, but instead slowing trains down and increasing their length to compensate for bandwidth loss.
