Yes there is a point, trains move over 40% of the nations freight, more than any other type of transportation. You are more dependent on trains than you know. Trains ship the coal we need for electricity, lumber, imports in containers from Asia, automobiles, electronics, ethanol, chemicals, fertilizers, grains, heck almost anything.

 

Trains are a more efficient than trucks. One rail car equals about three semi trucks. Trains can move the same amount freight, using less fuel, and at a cheaper price than trucks.

Trains also haul huge amounts of grain and animal feed. A semi hauling grain holds roughly 1,000 bushels. It's my understanding a grain rail car holds 10,000 bushels.

Agriculture is VERY dependant on trains.
