Even though it may eventually not fully replace the big rigs for long-distance hauling, especially in regions where the terrain conditions would not be favorable to the installation of railways, I am favorable to a more frequent usage of trains whenever possible. It does bother me, for example, not being able to travel by train in my home country, where most railways are now used for cargo only (but are also not an effective replacement for trucking).
