    Certain elements of rail shipping were nationalized under Conrail when the railroads were going under in the 70s. Basically they were losing money at that point and were net liabilities so the government bought them out and operated them until they were profitable, at which point they were privatized and sold off.

    U.S will nationalize industries if it follows the golden rule of capitalism, socialize losses and privatize profits.
