I really hate paying National Fuel Gas here in N.Y....it costs me about $300 a month to heat my tiny little 3 bedroom apartment! (winter months) It is such a rip off! But we gotta pay it! :angry:

how long do you think it takes too switch train cars around at each railyard hub

the issue is not with loading or the same thing would happen
when it is moved by truck

but it doesn't

and this is what you said



imo, there should be very little interstate truck driving. trains are more efficient




if it takes too long, that sounds like an area we need to improve

if things move around on a train, that sounds like a loading issue.

and really, how is what i said the 2nd time any different than the first?



are you just bored or something?

more efficient in terms of fuel usage, not time. i didn't take time into account.

now you know i probably can't come up with a better or more efficient way to unload and transport via train, but that doesn't mean the answer isn't out there. you must know that.



but i can understand all the bs, quite a few truckers and the industry would take a very large hit if they lost most of their goods to trains

My supposedly low cost gone green electric company who slams each customer with a fat fee just because they can't make enough energy on their own & they have to go buy it. grumble

I feel ripped off by this traffic light. It sees me coming and turns yellow every time. I either speed up risking a ticket or slam on the brakes.

After a minute I get to go again. I anticipate with dread that part of the road.

The marriage to my ex-wife. She screwed up 16 years of my live and cost me about a quarter million dollars.


Wow.

Bitter much? I wonder how she talks about you.


She's a drud addict. She tell the men she is living how much she loves me as an excuse to keep the sex down. I'm part of her little scam now.
