Horrifically bad NY Times articles about Spanish trains

Wow this is a bad article. It appears that the reporter only talked to one source for all of her information about train travel in Spain, a marketing professor named Josep Valls. As a result, the article contains this  paragraph:

Spain’s high-speed train sector seems well positioned to expand. All AVE [Alta Velocidad Española] lines turn a profit and have easily survived price wars waged by airlines, Mr. Valls said. What is more, trains require fewer employees and far less costly infrastructure than do planes.

While I’m pretty sure these trains do not, in fact, turn a profit, but is indisputably wrong is that trains require “far less costly infrastructure than do planes.” This could only be true if you don’t consider the train tracks. Generally people consider train tracks necessary for trains. There is no way flying requires more costly infrastructure than 325 miles of train tracks from Barcelona to Madrid, for example.

I hoped this article would have some interesting information, but it had none.
