      Rail trucks.

      Hell, they could probably get away with re-marketing trains rail trucks by talking about how much horsepower they have, how big they are, and how they can even pull other cars in a single line.

      The us has a large scale train system (for freight.) the key will be to convince people who currently drive trucks (vehicles used to move freight) that trains are bigger and more phallic and thus a better method of compensation.
