CNKS: Long haul, non perishable products are going back on the rail, and gong at a rate that is hard to imagine. Our railroad container trains used to be loaded with sea going containers only. Every day one is seeing more containers on there with the names of long time long haul trucking companies. I can remember just 3 years ago, being down by 401, that being the Canadian route heading to the Detriot-Windsor border crossing. There was enough truck traffic in 2 lanes of that highway, both ways. From a half mile away and up high enough to see both sides, it was solid enough it looked like two trains meeting on double track. It was two lanes each way of bumper to bumper truck traffic, and they were running 20' apart at 110 kmph. Cars were not even using that road during the week back then. Today there is ample room for cars and pickups, in fact there is not 1 lane of bumper to bumper truck traffic anymore.
