72. Train jobs? Great solution...

we also need more rolling stock and more rail, and the rail we have needs a lot of maintenance.

This isn't Europe. We don't HAVE the rail infrastructure we used to. We need it back, but I wonder if you could get sufficient right-of-way to build a proper rail system.

It's hard to retrain all the long-haul truckers into rail jobs, when there aren't enough rail jobs for them to have.
