Ironically the Interstates were created as a result of the vulnerability to disruption of rail-based logistics during wartime that the Americans themselves exploited against Nazi Germany. But because resilience and efficiency are competing interests, trucking by road comes at considerable energy and human costs all to facilitate point-to-point flexibility for the destinations making the orders but not actually driving the routes and paying all the wider costs themselves. And yes it's not a perfect analogy, but anyone who has played Cities Skylines would know how dramatically traffic gets cut down by using freight trains as a metro for cargo.
