I think you have seen the commercial where it states that a train can haul a 1000 lbs of fright 100 miles on a gallon of diesel . Yes right sounds good . Ok its time to read between the lines . One locomotive can weigh upwards of 60 tons . Lets now put the whole train into there 40 cars to the train times 30 tons per car . You see where I'm going with this .
Yes train are still one of the best and most efficient ways to haul fright and a lot of them are being converted to natural gas or LP .
Ah makes sense now.
