Roller skating along pouring kerosene on the ground is almost better gas mileage than tanks get. The literally get .6 miles to the gallon.

.6 mpg moving 16,000 tons of cargo. Try doing that in a semi truck.

Tanks. Not trains.

Trains get like 500 mpg.

Trains do not get 500 mpg, that’s a per ton measurement. So a loaded coal train ~16,000 ton, get about .03 miles per gallon of diesel.
