people can't wait for rail freight, takes to long. They want it yesterday Exactly -- which is why they need to create an express service. It is interesting, though -- as long as you can fedex your latest item for $20/30 next day, who is going to pay $5 or $10 for 2nd day delivery, for example? Nobody. It is the same problem as driving gas guzzlers. We are willing to pay for the gas, so that's what we'll do. $150/bbl oil just isn't high enough to really influence people's decisions. Maybe we need $300/bbl.
