Vacuum brakes have long since disappeared. Honest. Because of the short distances involved it is very difficult to make money from wagonload traffic in the UK; especially with additional transhipment costs fropm loading your wagons at either end. What must be remembered is that land is very expensive here and the Victorians built the railways on the cheap; this means that clearances are very very tight so the enormo trains which are built up in the North American continent wouldn't fit the bill here. As an aside it was the railways which basically created the Law of Compulsory Purchase - knock em dead at parties with that one! However fule is rapidly appraoching the £1/litre - roughly £5/ uk gallon so dont write it off yet.
