Every problem with rail this person lists is also a problem with every other form of transportation. You also have to lay roads, docks, or airports to get stuff where you're going. Infrastructure has to be built unless you're transporting stuff by donkey.
Rails are still less expensive to build and maintain. Railroads are something like 2/3 the cost of equivalent lengths of highway, and yet have greater cargo capacity and fuel efficiency.
Donkeys also require infrastructure. You ever been hiking? The difference in exertion from even the shittiest of gravel roads compared to roughing it through actual untreated terrain is insane and even the shitty gravel road is by all means a herculean effort

Only one solution remains then. REJECT MODERNITY, RETVRN TO TRADITION

Hell, donkeys didn't hit peak efficiency until the Royal Road/Silk Road was thoroughly established
