It's all competition however things are moved. Trucks may not be a threat to the railroad's very existence (at least right now) but they certainly take away a piece of the pie. The average citizen benefits from this competition, and maybe some day some of the players will end up out of the picture. 150 years ago everything was transported by animal, who knows what things will look like 150 years from now.
Getting the government involved always helps a select few, like the cronies who fund their election, at the expense of everyone else.
