[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4018385, member: 5412"] I have zero statistics to back my story up, but I agree with the term efficient when moving freight by rail, but the volume is moved by truckers IMHO. Just using I-80 as an example, we spent a week in Rawlings Wyoming two years ago on a higher RV site. There were mile long trains coming through with double decked Conex containers on the rail cars every 5-6 hours, but there were thousands of semi's going by on I-80 every hour. More semi's than POV's at times. Rail more efficient for sure, but those containers have to be loaded, unloaded, and then loaded once again on a truck for delivery to the final destination. [/QUOTE]
