The railroad built during the bubble in the 1800s, like 90% of it is decommissioned. It served no sustainable economic benefit, as most of it was last mile railroad that quickly got consolidated into trunks. If the US had maintained and kept the rail it built, it wouldn’t have the poor infrastructure it has right now.
