No kidding. The fact that we never electrified any of it kind of shows where our priorities lie. It was a dumb idea even before climate change to run our entire rail system on wasteful diesel generators carried by the damn train instead of power plants. Now folks want to use batteries and fucking hydrogen, when we've had the solution for more efficient trains forever.
Oh it's worse than that. Much of the Milwaukee's main line was electrified - over 600 miles worth - and the electrification was removed in favor of running diesels.
