And yet, if you look at the percentage of increases all around the Country, rail use is up in spite of the fact that most of the lines are not high speed rail. We could certainly utilize a closed plant or two to start getting more 'legs' of the fast trains running. Once length of time is not a factor, ridership will increase quite rapidly.
