Not at first. So much rail that could be torn up and re-laid where needed. Think of all those rail routes that have 4, 6, 8 or more lines running into and out of major transport hubs and population centres. No need for that level of capacity for many years to come. Work crews would be tasked with ripping up excess parallel lines and re-laying the rails as required. IMHO of course.
