Could we also go back to using freight trains? You know...by train from
major place to major place, by truck from major to local.

I seem to remember that worked well.

Sure, but it took a little longer. In this day of instant gratification
where things MUST go FedEx red we don't have the patience to wait a few
more days. I have seen though, where 53' containers can go by rail and be
more economical than straight truck routing. At $4+ for diesel, trains
would make a lot of sense. Passenger trains too!


Not on subject, looks like investing in rail transportation maybe a good
long term strategy. Trains are coming back.
