I Dropped the Boy Off At The YMCA While Ago & Had To Stop At A RailRoad Crossing For A Train To Pass…

The driver in the car in front of me didn’t get very close to the tracks, she stopped way behind them. There were no chemical tankers on the train, it was all filled with cargo containers or truck trailers from Amazon, Walmart, Or JB Hunt (Which pulls for Walmart). A lot of them, I guess the price of diesel has truck trailers being shipped this way now.

Trailers have been shipped like this for many years now. I've always heard that trains use a fraction of the fuel that trucks do, pound for pound.

@ineedadrink Yes I know, but haven’t seen an entire train load of them without other types of things that they are also hauling.

@cherokeepatti Ah, I see.
