My proposal was for taking the existing rail lines, which had government subsidies, and making them a commons and improving them so that all players had better service.

The rails themselves become owned by the public and are improved so that more freight and more passenger traffic can utilize it.
As it stands now, passenger traffic here takes a back seat to freight and it makes traveling by rail on the west coast fit only for tourists with plenty of time on their hands.
