I think if they really want to do it, they can and they will.  Before 9/11, would you imagine someone would use a commercial jet as a missile?  ;-)I hope the FBI is reading this thread because I really think this is a real potential situation and real security ought to be considered as per my post above this one, it is possible and been shown in various movies.[quote user="darday"] Nothing much of use to small bands of terrorists. No ammunition is shipped along with the vehicles. It would take a huge, well-financed group to pull off such a hijacking, to include take-over of the railroad's control system, so that the train could go somewhere hidden for unloading. Otherwise, like everyone else said, the terrorists would be surrounded before they got the first vehicle off the first flatcar. Easier to just blow up a bridge or otherwise derail the train--but even that's not easy.  [/quote]
