I really like trains and think they're very effective, but I have to wonder why so much stuff is transported by truck and I'm not going to buy into some conspiracy or start thinking that everyone else is retarded when I don't know too much myself. So I'm left with the question, what's with road transport that's so much better? Is the fact that rail transport is less flexible really that much of an issue when most logistics chains will probably settle into a pattern at a large enough scale?
