One fully-loaded railroad car can carry as much (about 100 tons) as four semi trucks. Between the cost of diesel (now around $4/gal) and the shortage of drivers, rail transport is now significantly cheaper for distance hauling.

SNIP I was watching the trains along the main line PRR on Sunday. There was more traffic on the rail than I have ever seen. I assume that fuel prices are producing this. Pherhaps it is time to purcase some rail road stock.
