Along those lines, but a little off topic fact ... Back in the late 40's/early 50's, there was NO market for skimmed, or non-fat milk. My Grandfather used to tell me that in those days, 80 to 90% of the skim milk coming off the milk/cream separator, went directly down the drain--and found its' way to the Connecticut river... MY, how times have changed ?!?!?

PS ... Don't entirely count the railroads out just yet.. They are doing everything in their power to try and re-gain a larger share of transportation revenues. Anyone who has money to hedge their bets might be wise to set up trucking terminals as close to rail lines as possible....Trucks will ALWAYS be needed, but a larger share of long distance freight moving is going to revert back to rail systems--so long as fuel costs remain a crippling issue.
