Gilbert B Norman Member # 1541	posted Richard, the link in your material appears faulty. I beleve this link will prove to be related: http://www.tuvie.com/p-trak-autonomous-rail-transportation-proposal-for-amtrak/
yukon11 Member # 2997	posted Yes, thanks for the link. It is identical to the one I posted. A little like Uber on rails. Richard
