    I think the intro was exaggerating the dangers of the railroad juuuuuust a little bit. You don't have to do that. Just say "trains" and my fellow railfans and I will come running. Don't get me wrong, it IS dangerous work, with all those tons (or Tonnes) of freight balanced on two thin rails moving at breakneck speed, but they act like demons are going to swarm over the train and disassemble it piece by piece while it's going down the track.

    With one ship load of iron ore, that's an estimated 12 million dollars per load in one ship.

    well all i can say is shouldnt push the limit should have 10 loads at the quay side to cover any hold up in america the ore trucks come in on 3 roads plenty there for the boats might be a good idea to put in a second road and dont over use it oh sorry COSTS TO MUCH MONEY YEA HOW MUCH DID THEY LOSE IN THAT 2 WEEKS
  • Why Australia doesn't have double railway track for longer journey's instead of single track?
  • @gdrriley420
    the constant this is huge while talking about a 2-3km train is funny. the US now often runs 4-5km
