Another danger for US railroads is if the trucking companies and the various DOT's could come up with lanes for "road trains" asvused in Australia.
You need to read the article set forth above, and the reference to "Truck Platooning." Click on it.
I was refering to trucks with 3 or nore FULL size trailers with one tractor. I would say that would produce more savings than platooning.

I could just see a tractor with 3 or more trailers on the Dan Ryan Expressway, the Ike or the Tri-State Tollway in the Chicago area during rush hour... eek It's bad enough right now with single trailer rigs.

These states already allow triple trailers: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Utah. In some states, they are restricted to certain highways.
