US railroads love the pat themselves on the back for their cargo rail. They are very profitable for the investors of those rail networks. But calling them best in the world is nonsense.

They just have lots and lots of old infrastructure that they can use and they don't need to share their rail with passenger travel, and their only responsibility is making a profit so they can cut anything away that isn't profitable.

Of course that then just leads to more traffic and trucks on the road. So far worse for the nation as a whole.
