When a Semi Truck parks a trailer on a flatcar (I think they call this piggy back) does it burm less fuel than
if it is towed across the country on the roads.
On the railroad, fuel consumption is measured in gallons per hour, but "mileage" is figured as Ton Miles Per Gallon of fuel consumed.
NS has a TV commercial running now that boasts moving 1 ton of freight 420 miles on 1 gallon of fuel. That's in the ball park. But, even though consuming fuel at a high rate, around 160 gallons per hour for each engine, it is moving anywhere from 5,000 to 12,000 tons or more, on a single train.
So, how many trucks would it take to haul 12,000 tons? In Calif the limit is 80 tons. So, 150 trucks.
Move the same amount of tonnage 100 miles, with all fuel tanks topped off at the start. When filling again after the 100 mile trip, you're gonna put much more fuel in all the trucks than the locomotive(s).
Now, figure in the wages for the two men on the train and compare with the salary for 150 truck drivers as well as maintenance of all those trucks.
When considering all, nothing can move freight more efficiently than rail, both from the standpoint of fuel in addition to all the other overhead.
