Despite the gravel, this seems too short to work. The ones in Pa. are a
lot longer.


That's WAY out west

In southern California they are long... between Vegas and LA.

Boy, that is long. With even a small amount of gravel in the runaway
ramp, any truck should be able to stop by the time it gets to LA.



Even trains have had problems (once a big fire that destroyed a number
of homes - rupturing gas lines to Vegas).

Rocket parts are shipped by train across the desert (top secret)
