    Great, now we can have traffic but on these old rails.

    How about, and I know this is a radical idea, actually fixing up the old rail lines and putting trains on them instead of this gimmick?

      Old railway lines in Europe often aren’t complete anymore and only cover relatively small distances.

      There simply isn’t enough infrastructure to handle a full train network and fixing them up would probably require existing infrastructure and buildings to be disowned and destroyed.
