Thanx Les. Which solves the problem Burton had. But for maximum 
acceptance, you need flatcars that are wide enuf to drive on from one 
side, then drive off from the other. people dont like waiting in line 
for a car to be unloaded.

And, if the flat cars had garage doors on each side and a roof, then 
owners could either ride in their car, or while enroute, get out and go 
to passenger cars for dinner, a drink, or a piss.

Finally, what will really make money for investors is if it is high 
speed. Folks will want to get on at sundown in the snowbelt, and off at 
sunrise on the gulf coast.

Economically, rather than paying for the heat for seniors in northern 
homes during winter, or AC for them in the south during summer, it'd be 
cheaper to ****p their ***** to live in FEMA trailers during that part of 
the year when utility costs would be high. Mite even ****p the trailers. 
For which, again, you need wide track flat cars.

Not that this idea is going to go anywhere mind you. Nobody in the 
political elite with the power to do anything reads what we post.
