It looks to me that this guy is sucking at the government teat to re-invent the railroad.
Railroads move cargo for a lot less than $ .10 per mile
Railroads can move one ton of freight for 600 miles on 1 gallon of Diesel

most likely in highway medians interesting concept = one of my sons is a long hauler - he says the highways are chock-a-block trucks...too many...we were just talking about the over-congestion and that something needs to be done asap
He wouldn't mind it going in the other direction - and picking up containers at the ports is a bottle neck nightmare...

Can’t wait for all the hoopla when they decide this new railroad will have to be routed through someone’s backyard.

Why use an automated system when there are so many Mexicans who will willingly hike through the desert just to pilot trucks AMericans refuse to pilot?
I know that that is so close to real life that I have to say that the above is sarcasm.

derailment-proof railsIt might be much less likely to derail, but no system is failure proof. As long as these folks don't actually believe their own hype, things will probably work pretty well.
