MODERATORS
I think you forgot to factor airports, ground crew, atc, and federal flight infrastructure in
It’s roughly equivalent to maintaining train stations (some of which see less than one train, per direction, per day), FRA oversight, rental fees to the host railroad outside of the limited tracks Amtrak owns, locomotive and car maintenance, etc.
Wendover broke down the numbers a few years ago, I don't think they've changed significantly since then.
