Question

About traintravel:

How much is the weight of an avarage train capable of transporting 200 pax? All this weight has to be transported anyway.

How much energy does a train use? including transport losses from the place where the electrical energy is made!

Is this energy enviremental o.K.? (coal, cokes, etc)?

How much room in the landscape does a mile of traintracks take, an avarage airport?

How much noise makes a train goiing past an iron trainbrigde?

What is true and what are the political correct answers?

Just look it up in any report made by governement or enviremental groups, by the way; what happened to the hole in the ozonelayer: no money there anymore?
