You think about it, if the unions and democrats hadn't destroyed our railroads, and the fact that today's society is "gotta have it now", we probably wouldn't be having the high fuel prices we have today...

A ton of freight can be moved 410 miles on a single gallon of diesel by rail, while an average truck moves a ton of freight 100 miles on that same gallon of diesel.

I remember when you saw few 18 wheelers on the highways, now thats just about all you see on I40. Now that the railroad companies have merged and unions have taken over, the railroad industry is failing, just like the automobile manufacturers and our public education system, all unionized.
