Re: Delivery drivers do more than just drive

Any countries you have in mind for better rail infrastructure? Based on weight/distance, the US is similar or exceeds European countries for rail freight unless they have significant shipping:

Except in the critical high-density areas (such as the Northeastern US) where the rain infrastructure has been torn up, and even now when we should know better *CONTINUES* to be torn up. Sometimes for something as foolish as Faceborg executives bribing the county government to build a bike trail for the execs and three of their friends (hello Ulster).

What is needed is more localized hubs where containers can be dropped off for local deliveries, and maybe smaller containerization options so they could be quickly offloaded at local stations. New Your Central Railroad had worked on an experimental system at one time, which had 4-6 containers (?) per rail car.
