One other thing, Mark Hemphill is absolutely right when he says that rate shortage is the cause of the problem. Rates for a loaded railcar on moves of over 300 miles are nearly the same as a truck rate for the same trip, yet the railroad carries three or more times the freight. Also, rail backhauls are few and far between. The rail infrastructure is simply too expensive to maintain without some form of government assistance. Properly deployed, such assistance will enable proper maintenance of existing infrastructure and hopefully also allow for acquisition of new right of ways and expansion of the network to reach the growing cities and towns of a new age. The oil won't last forever and transportation will still be needed. <br /> <br />
