Default home made (metal) rail road car

Must be some money involved. Someone getting paid to change
his way of thinking. Railroads make sense, to me. usually
level grade, reasonably so. Get the train going, and it
rolls right along. Of course, truck go many places rail
roads will not.

I remember from school, that the tax rates used to be
different, between short and long haul. In the US, it was
often cheaper to send a car past your destination, and then
bring it back. The two long haul were still cheaper than one
short. Idiotic tax code, if you ask me.

Looks interesting and exciting.


Thats great - thanks for posting.

I'm on the west coast of australia (the train guy's on the
east coast).
The government here has a history of decomissioning rail and
placing the
freight on the roads in trucks.
