There is a small industry in a nearby town that brings in Sand, Stone Etc By rail. Nothing beats a train if you want to ship alot of material without maintaining a fleet of trucks, drivers, insurance, contracts, maitnaince etc etc. <br /> <br />I remember years ago containers were strictly shipping. Both Oceanic and Intracoastal. And used to deliver and recieve to and from ports. Suddenly some one had an idea of trains of containers coast to coast is cheaper and faster than ships from one coast to another (OF the USA) <br /> <br />Sand is good to make money on. There are plenty of Air being hauled by empty cars back to home roads.
