    I can’t imagine what kind of rail system would come close to the capacity we’d need for it to make a significant dent in sea transport. Nothing beats a cargo ship for sheer capacity and efficiency (at the cost of speed of course)

    But I’d be happy to stand corrected.

      I do think it’s pretty cool, but with our recent tragedies involving train derailings in the US, this doesn’t sound all too reassuring on our end.

    Will it be now that we will see trains become the default large haul cargo movers?
