>>the roads and railroads are a fuckery on a global scale

What exactly do you mean by this OP? America's railroads are more consolidated now than they ever have been, except maybe during WW1. As we speak remote controlled locomotives are already the standard, with computerized signalling (PTC) rapidly becoming standard. A single operator can control 10+ locomotives from one handheld beltpack, whereas ten years ago even the most basic train needed an opertator, a conductor, a fireman and two brakemen.

It's more efficient now than it ever has been in it's history.
