Double-stack rail access to ports on the East and West Coasts has enabled people in "flyover country" to get inexpensive consumer products from all over the world.

Stepping back from a retail store shelf and seeing what goes on behind the scenes to get those products there for you is quite a remarkable learning experience. I think every American high school student should be required to take a course in basic economics that includes a supply chain and logistics component.
