They have the power to organize trains needed to move any number of material anywhere on the North American Continent. Our enemies are not aware of our great capacity in Logisitics. We are a "sleeping giant" in this section. I still look back to World War Two as the absolute high point in terms of tonnage moved in units of "Time" our rails groaned under the weight but we got it done. During the recent Operation Iraqi Freedom the railroad near my home was running military loads of everything from ammo to frozen foods to tanks and stuff past my small corner of the world. Most of this took place at night. I think we had a train pass every 10 minutes sometimes running side by side on that dual track main during the buildup to the war. Mostly at nighttime.
