A first world train system would prove it.

Americans are rich and lazy....hence air travel.
After WW2, Leftist realized they needed to separate themselves from Fascism.
So, they started the intense historical revisionist efforts. Because they control most of media and academia, and because most regular folks don’t pay much attention to these sorts of things, they have been mostly successful.
About the Nazis you are reciting are those historical revisions. About the USSR you are spewing Retardation.
A high speed railway system would also improve "time to market" for Commerce.
No it wouldn't, rail is good for bulk transportation like coal, aggregates, grain etc
But if you have a load of say fresh meat, fish, vegetables or eggs etc, you need a truck.
You won't find even the Chinese rail system transporting perishable goods.
High speed rail can improve time to market. Refrigeration works with rail cars as well.
Then why does no one do it?
I have no idea why it doesn't happen in right wing fantasy.
That makes no sense.
I have been to Japan. Their high speed rail isn't for transportation of foods.
Why doesn't other nations use high speed rail like you imagine?

You make no sense. Why wouldn't they use some refrigerated cars on their railways? Should they lose that potential business.

You imagine wrong? I have no idea why y'all only have problems instead of solutions in right wing fantasy.
You can't seem to grasp the question.

None do.
None.
High Speed Rail =/= Freight Train.
The context is upgrading our railroads to two-hundred-and-fifty miles per hour. You have to understand we have solutions not merely problems to be solved, on the left.

Not nearly enough.
Perishable goods are best transported by road.
I highly doubt that your much vaunted Chinese high speed rail network will transport much perishable goods.
I agree to disagree. Upgrading infrastructure could enable refrigerated cars to move to and from processing facilities. No amount of trucking could beat that and without the congestion on public freeways.
If the rail system was otherwise unused and the processing plants had their own railway station perhaps.
But it isn't and they don't.
Eg: in the US, a supermarket warehouse is not built on the rail network and neither are the stores
I'd be willing to wager that the bulk of perishable goods are transported by rail in China.
And probably the bulk of factory made products.
Upgrading infrastructure can still provide returns to scale.
The phrase is "diminishing returns to scale"

eventually; what doesn't. in the mean time however, upgrading infrastructure could put train depots near redistribution depots.

California is trying to do that.
Have you not followed the failure of high speed rail?
And if built, no one is using it for transportation of foods.
