Well, see, for that to happen, you'd need politicians who aren't complicit in trying to rip the wiring out of the walls. Also, regulating railroads is hella complicated in the US because we've got a bunch of ancient laws that give the railroads more rights than God, to the point where you almost stop being a citizen when you step onto railroad right of way. We COULD deal with that, but it'd be almost as much of an almighty fucking lobbyist shitshow as when we try to regulate oil.
