    The WW II US rail network is loonnnnggggg gone and doesn’t really have any effect on the modern day. What remains is mostly freight rail run by a few oversized rail corporations… and they’re surely in no hurry to abandon their diesel engines.

    There’s also not huge political pressure because rail is already a very efficient way to transport goods. Spreading rail would have better effects than electrifying rail.
