I believe truck drivers are the heart of the railroad. Without us how would materials and equipment get delivered. Always be safe a use the biggest strap-ons you have.

Oh you guys! Quit the back and forth bickering. Yes MoW trucks can pull cars, and yes locomotives can pull cars too. You can't fire shots at someone for stating a well known fact of railroads. Railroads need locomotives. In case you weren't paying attention that well, the trucking industry is a very direct competitor for freight transport. So the comment of trucks being the heart of the RR is a little hard to believe. If that were the case then the RR's are in line for a fatal heart attack. Think about it!
I was just saying that trucks can pull cars guys relax. I was just making fun of the OP! I seriously wouldn’t be surprised if the RR just used the trucks to pull rail cars since only one person is required to be in the cab of the truck and they are so he’ll bent on one man crews. These clowns would rather pull 8 cars with a semi and one man than 180 cars with 2 train crew members. Step over a dollar to pick up a dime kinda logic. Ya know that’s how this place operates.
Ok, you liking a big strap-on is your business. Congratulations on being a truck driver.
Ah yes an 18 wheeler and a MoW truck. Yeah I guess I missed the part where they were the same. My bad
Ok let's see a MOW truck pull 20k tons! I seriously doubt you'll find that on Google.
I’ve seen trucks on the tracks. Maintenance of way always has semis on the tracks. Jeez you must be a sleepy Conductor to have not noticed. The can even pull RR cars. I promise google it.
Are you aware that without locomotives, you'd have no railroad? I haven't seen an 18 wheeler on rails yet. If you happen to see one though, please let is know
Lance let me borrow his strap on.
