Bruce, <br />As a long time traveler of our interstate system, I share your sentiments about the dangerous and destructive "freight trains" that hog our highways. These behemoths belong on the rails. By my calculations, trucks burn 15 times as much fuel per ton-mile as mainline freight trains. Wish someone would explain to this forum why our class 1 railroads are content to let the trucking industry eat their lunch. My suspesion is that RR management is too comfortable in their plush offices to get out and fight the dirty battle with the agressive trucking industry. When I'm driving in a endless convoy of double and tripple trailers, running parallel to an empty main track for mile after grueling mile, It just makes me wonder: "what is Railroad Management doing right now?".
