The edge we have, in my understanding, is that there is enhanced funding if you go with electrification and moving freight. There are opportunities in that regard that need to be looked at in the context of the longevity of the investment. I am not saying just because funding is available, we should build railways everywhere. It clearly must be planned and done correctly. However, if the opportunity is there, we should not let it pass.
