A locomotive uses gallons per minute of fuel just at idle, where a truck getting 4 mpg could make a round trip on $4.00.

Someone said earlier what radio channel ABDF operates on, but I think they made a mistake. AAR channels are numbered 7 through 97. ABDF uses AAR channel 36, which is frequency 160.65 Muggerhurts. Leastwise, that is the channel I receive them on on my scanner.
