I was wondering about the efficiency aspect of it. Our neighbor the truck
driver protested that although fuel prices might triple, still, says he, trucks
are more efficient than trains. I dug a bit. In order to pull (level grade)
100 loaded boxcars, it takes four engines the size of his truck engine.
Doesn't sound like trucks are more efficient to me! When I quizzed him, he said he
meant they were more efficient in that you got your load to its destination
more quickly, two days instead of three.
