> I frequently tow between Washington and Montana
But... why? Like, at that point it should make more sense shipping whatever freight you want to ship by train?!
The answer from someone who owns a truck and a trailer would be "why would it make sense to ship by train when I have a truck and a trailer?"
Regular people aren’t towing freight. More likely a camper or a boat or other recreational toy. Shipping those via train whenever you wanted to go on a trip would be absurd.
