“Part” of railways, primarily however, is being the device, the robust and resilient, for nearness.
(Now, with Greta etc, all are “green”… The global devices, by air and by sea, even the on road device, “electrifies”, etc., etc.)
By Industry, high quality service rendered, at current “On Demand” supply chains, handsomely is rewarded, etc. Quality pays!
(Frankly, currently, “political will” is not the “bottleneck”, but evidently something is..) “Back to basics” remains!
