I think rail is too expensive.....
I can hire a flat bed here in the midwest for $1.40 a mile..............it
could very easily haul 2 bren carriers and some.
And the equpment is shipped directly......not on a long about route like a
typical train would take.
I am talking hours..not days or weeks...
