There is about ~121,800 miles of track in North America owned by CSX, Norfolk Southern, Union Pacific, BNSF, and Canadian National.

Seems like it would be quite expensive to build this new infrastructure? Maybe if highway transportation was more fuel efficient / fast the amount of tubing could be minimized.
