[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 677826, member: 4886"] We use the train for destinations that are a decent distance away. Also, the train is actually sometimes slower then driving it over the road, so if the commit time is very tight. (For ex from MA, NC\SC is two transit days, also from MA, S NJ is 2 transit days away). It's real easy to hit NJ in two total days, but NC\SC are a long way away. So we need a fast method for those tight windows. The good thing about rail is all the UPS trailers on the rail end up needing a lot less fuel \ CO2 then if we put them all on the road with trucks.
