    I heard about this. ...and unfortunately that a question that could be asked many ways. You're basically asking when politicians will quit lying.

    Its sad though. On the road we "rule" at 20-40 tons. But on the rails we may as well be a ####roach under a foot. Our 40 tons becomes nothing; just one locomotive weighs anywhere from 40-200 tons. Now you can add the cars at 20-40 tons each, and that's empty.

    Maybe one day folks will grow a brain AND use it properly.

    Well, I guess you could say he lost his "train" of thought.
    And he was never going to be on the right track.

    Looks like the road did more damage to the truck than the train.
