      We don’t allow freight and logistics companies to own highways, so we do we still let them own track?

      The public should own the tracks. Rail companies should be freed to focus on competing for cargo and passengers.

          What’s your logic for treating it separately? The tracks and roads both serve as infrastructure to move people and goods around, yet the public owns only roads.

          We could keep more train conductors employed too if we had a fairer access system for tracks.
