"Someone should tell the US that."<BR><BR>oh, good point, jj. we should take a three-day train trip from the east coast to the west instead of a five-hour plane ride.<BR><BR>but trains aren't environmentally friendly, either. the energy that powers the train must be produced somewhere. perhaps we should just go back to the covered wagon -- but that would be cruel to animals.<BR><BR>how about a two-month bike ride across the country?

Hello jj,<BR><BR> Your statement about trains was so emphatic I am interested in your sources. What data do you base your certainty on?<BR><BR> I would agree that rail travel is cheapest for freight as cargo but I suspect that passengers as cargo is a different story. <BR><BR>MM
