    Yeah! Go for it!

    I’m curious to see how you’ll haul away 19,600 gallons of corn syrup, 3,900 bushels of grain, 100 tons of random auto parts, 80 tons of paper reams, 70 tons of logs, 13,000 gallons of ammonia (or other dangerous chemicals), and the various other things that typically get shipped via rail these days.

    You might get lucky and find a boxcar full of canned goods 👍

    …or maybe even actual cars but… How would you get them off the train without the necessary equipment/track setup? 🤔

      You know a good heist always needs that genius mechanic who can bodge a mechanical solution to such practical problems, or just have a flatbed truck with a crane or something.

      If this were a movie, it’d end up with an 18-wheeler and whatever nonsense would be required to steal a whole train car. XD

        The 18 wheeler gets picked up by a heavy lift helicopter and the hero has to jump on the truck from the top of a parking garage, fight the driver, then climb the cables to get to the gunners and pilot.
