Not wanting to critizise, but is there a breakdown of those numbers by ton/kilometers and people/kilometers?

If roads transported 30 times more people and goods than trains, these numbers would basically OK.

No. This is what determines what goes where. How many miles there are. Where those miles go. How many goods get moved on them.

Also, how much of that money did amtrak make back?
