Wod've been better if it were rail. It was really kind of stupid for him to go so all-in on oil-based transport like that. Even diesel trains would be a better choice than cars, but given the inevitable war shortages, it probably would have been sensible to stick with either coal-powered steam trains, or electric trains.

The auto bahn could also be used by Horses and other pack animals. Hitler was still testing the waters and wanted to disguise his infastructure for war as civilian. The auto bahn was very grandiose and fit his grand vision for Germany. All the countries had different rail gauges, so German rail was not as effective for moving into other countries like road infrastructure was.
