Can someone explain why long haul trucks are chosen over trains? Is it time, cost, or hassle? Can computerization make rail a better choice? Are the railroads too set in their ways to compete? Why aren't trains used as trunk lines with trucks the local feeder service? <br /> <br />In other words, why haven't railroads figured out how to compete even though they are mechanically more efficient and they've had a hundred years to think about it?
