I still think this is very "american", and it does not make sense to me there are basically no trains roaming this vastness. I get it there are reasons, and challenges, but at least some of them seem... cultural? Denial? "We do not need trains! This is the way!".
Again, there are reasons why you may need to haul hay bails through the sticks. They are valid here as well! What is not sensible though is to look at extreme ranges for general use. Like daily or weekly commute, that kind of thing, because you have that covered.
