Well, trains are the cheapest and most fuel efficient way to move freight. Your move Reuters. Not saying locomotive emissions couldn’t use some work, but name an even remotely competitive alternative. We’ll wait. Nationalized rail would also be nice.

Totally agree, though electric trains are definitely an option.
