I like their pickup trucks that can go on the rails though. Pretty funny when you stop for the crossing gates and a pickup truck rolls by.

Railroad regulations would end up prohibiting the majority of our installs. Cant climb any tower structure that doesnt have an installation report accompanying the preinstallation engineering report and if it hasnt passed inspection in the last year it cant be accessed, there goes every residential tower.

This from what little I have looked in to also requires them to have more sensors and such along the rail lines. With these towers and backhaul networks in place, it would make for an easy addition to add a WISP business. The railroad already bought and paid for everything but the PTMP units and CPE on the rail tower network. We should all be so lucky.
