Hey Roger... You don't think that trains are "all that?" I'll tell you what. Imagine a world with no trains. Most power plants that generate electricity in the USA burn coal. How long do you think the plants would operate if the trains stopped? Most power plants have less than a 2 day supply of coal on hand. Just how many minutes of power would airplanes be able to supply a power plant with coal?

And let's not forget just how much product distribution of all sorts depend on the trains. Figure if the trains were to stop, the price of everything would easily double or triple overnight. Transportation by rail is MUCH less expensive than by truck.
