[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 84815, member: 16"] Re: Chevy has their head up their butt Replying both to MH and JR, some foresight and planning along the lines of DDE's implementation of the Interstate system is long overdue. I suspect that given some encouragement from the regulatory agencies and the tax folk, a comprehensive, integrated rail/highway system would be of great benefit to all, both economically and environmentally. More rail......definitely. Regional/local truck delivery from rail hubs.....definitely. We already see a lot of this with the containerization of freight on the sea routes feeding to the rails, then to the trucks in large container yards. Weaning consumers and end-users from the expectation of "overnight gratification" is, as mentioned, a direct response to the reduced cost offered by taking a day or two longer in transit. More trains!!!! [/QUOTE]
