Can you explain how this is relevant to modern traffic fatality statistics?

  Today's main line rails are mostly in the same places they were back when they hosted passenger service.

    Which are now used for freight and instead people mostly move in cars, which are prone to crashing

      Meaning that it’s a matter of priorities and we could just have passenger trains again if we really wanted to. Personally I think freedom of movement is such a public good that it’s wrong to require they be run for profit. Warren Buffet can afford a few holes in the freight timetable.

        The old passenger lines you reference: - don't solve intracity travel. - likely are not optimised for the flow of people today. - likely are not constructed for the high speeds which make intercity travel attractive via rail.
