No, but the early railroads of this country were built when there were no property rights of competing owners to defend (or respect), few comparable alternative modes of transportation, and practically no safety or regulatory measures to govern how it was built.

That said, the cost of building things in the US is a major problem.

It was also built by Chinese immigrants slaves at essentially no cost to the builders, wasn’t it?

Depends on the region. Out West it was mostly Chinese workers. Back East it was the Irish.
