The thing here is that even if freight trains ran at high speed it wont help if it has to sit at a yard being sorted and resorted for up to 48hours or more and have to stop at at least 5 classification yards on its way to the customers siding. You can get transit times from BNSFs website and intermodal transit times from skedz.com. 14-15 days coast to coast for a boxcar.....5-8 days for a COFC. <br />It takes 6 to 8 hours to load a Pig train.
