> Apparently you folks havent heard of "inter-modal" shipping?  They put 

the trailers on flatcars and take them long distance for local delivery by

trucks.  My town has trains coming thru every 20 minutes. See these all the

time.


	Take a 2000 mile trip on any of our interstate highways some
time and count the tractor trailers hauling long haul these days. I
have spent lots of time on the road and see more tractor trailers than
I do cars some days. Sure, we know about rail box shipping and inter
modal shipping but what we see here is mostly on it's way overseas via
seaports than destined for cross country rail shipping. The tip-off
to this is you don't see many unloading and delivery facilities for
inter-modal shipping except at seaports - like Newark, NJ, as a for
instance, and those trailers come off the rail cars and are directly
loaded on to ships.
