8. Freight traffic causes delays, true |

But almost never does freight traffic cause delays of hours and hours. Generally only some kind of death on the tracks or damage to the rails can do that.
And while I ride Amtrak and I support Amtrak's existence, I am skeptical that we should invest much more in trains. Peoples' spending habits clearly show that the vast majority prefer their travel to be fast and cheap, so IMO our focus should be on upgrading our air infrastructure.
