Since I can see you haven't read the thread up to this point, the scenario goes like this: You drive your truck to the rail terminal, drive onto a railcar, select your destination, and the railcar moves you and your truck to that nearest rail terminal to your destination. You then drive your truck off and continue on to your destination the regular way. The object of the rail construction effort, then, is to place a set of rails between more and more people's points of origin and their destinations, until almost everyone can use a set of rails to get where they're going, no matter where they're going.
There's no locomotive at all - each railcar is self-propelled.
Yep - that's what this system would do, in the end. Until fully built-out, it would simply keep getting closer and closer to that goal, and be useful to more and more people.
It'd be about as easy as getting onto an interstate highway.
I wanna really make cars much faster and versitile and safer and fuel-efficient by allowing them to use railroads.
rude drivers nope. rude TRUCKERS... 1972Scott en Aztl‡n The really astounding thing is that you believe your argument is rational! All those railroad cars you see every day? Multiply those by about 100,000...
Yep - but they'd get on the rail system with it whenever they could, because they know they could proceed at about 2 1-2 times the speed they're allowed to on the highway, without getting the cops chasing them.
There would be no grade crossings - there could not be grade crossings, this system couldn't work if there were.
