Ah, but to some people society's fullest potential is for everyone to drive and pay car-payments, insurance, etc.; so for those people, investing in rail projects that fail or only provide very limited and/or expensive service is a great way to stimulate more people to buy/drive cars and then provide more jobs to pay for those cars.
