This is how you get the US to finally agree on a large scale train system: can them trucks.
Rail trucks.
Hell, they could probably get away with re-marketing

Now we just need to wait for the Smart Rail Truck Convoy™
Just wait until they find out about the fancy air conditioned ones that can carry human cargo much faster than container cargo 😳

If you put a bunch of them together is that a road train on rails?
Truck platoons on rails. Sounds so cool. Fund it immediately.
We can optimize vertical synergies by putting the drivetrain into one car. I call it The Engine™.
Such a crazy idea for moving things around. I vote we call it the Locomotive^Tm

The us has a large scale train system (for freight.) the key will be to convince people who currently drive trucks (vehicles used to move freight) that trains are bigger and more phallic and thus a better method of compensation.
Doesn't the US already have a massive freight rail network though?
