According to what I found here, the railroad is subsidized as well. Im sure this is repeated throughout the country. http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/localgov/aid/railprojects.htm Leaving trucks to do the local work isent the answer. The amount of trucks it would take to pull all those 20, 40, and 53 foot containers would increase to a greater extent as today. Thats just containers, wait to see all the trucks it would take to help haul away all the freight from the box cars, etc. Talk about conjestion in a tiny area like a city. Plus trains are set up to haul large quantities of freight. They can't handle a load from a shipper who ships product a few times a week in small amounts. Trucking provides great service, something trains are lacking these days. There will always be long haul trucking because there will always be shippers out there who would rather pay for service than how cheap I can get ship it for. Im not too worried about trucks loosing alot of freight to rails anyways. Until the day I see a rail spur at a Wal Mart store, than I'll start to worry some, but I dont see that day ever coming. Just look at Ice Cold Express, didnt they close that all up?
