=v= The _Wall_Street_Journal_ just had an article about rail
freight and how it takes a third as much oil as using trucks,
and how that makes it economical.  But hey, what does the _WSJ_
know about economics, anyway?

=v= Of course, massive oil subsidy is the only reason that
wasteful trucking has been competitive (false-economical) with
rail in the first place, but rising oil costs are starting to
make some things undeniable.
