BNSF Needles Subdivision California double stack 2023
Out in the desert, the trains roll day and night carrying stuff from ports to factories and retail outlets.
In the old days, you would hear the clacking of steel wheels rolling over rail joints. It would give you a relative indication of speed. Now, the rail is all welded and that noise is gone.
Your corrections are welcomed.
The military services have over 5 million tons of conventional ammunition, explosives, and missiles (hereafter referred to as ammunition) valued at about US$80 billion as of September 30, 1994. This ammunition, if loaded onto railroad cars, would stretch over 800 miles — the distance from Washington, D.C., to Orlando, Florida.
