Hey Jack i think you are living in a little dream world if you think that any US railway nor any railway for that matter, hauling normal freight can compete with the big miing operations. Consists 3 to 5 km long are the norm with 5 up locos and the tonnage looks like numbers out of a telephone book. If any one asked what was the busiest port in Australia you would have to say Sydney but really it is a minnow compared to Port Headlland in WA. Really they are transporting an entire continent away to Japan and China. If you can; try to get the figures and you will be amazed at the tonnage and thats what it is all about. Dead flat terrain, with straight tracks and huge automatic loading and unloading of iron ore and other stuff into massive ships. REeally this is another world and unless you have at least seen it on video you can not appreciate it. Ian
