Tracking the Past


Technological development can be a wonderful thing but when do you stop? Railroads have used the same basic design for many many years. A couple of centuries.

You might not think it but because steel on steel produces much less friction than rubber on pavement, a railroad is much more efficient than transportation by truck. Even with the number of derailments incurred by the evil empire, it is a safer way to transport commodities. It makes our roads safer.

Almost makes a guy proud to work for those bastards.

Almost.
