Imagine!! Over three miles of train. The railroads experimented with this concept back in the 1950s. If only the experimenters could see it all now: Locomotives dispersed all through the train being remotely controlled from the one lead engine, Containers that are transferable from flatcars to flatbeds on trucks (Even the U. S. Mail is containerized!!); and, contrary to appearances and popular belief, this is actually more economical than just using one mode of transport alone--trains to carry the containers over the long haul while trucks to make the shorter runs and drop off at more precise locations. Aah, the wonders of science and technology and logistics.

Not that bad for North American couplers and drawbars because of distributed power. The distributed power actually puts some of the train in buff. AAR type E and F couplers are rated around 350,000 pounds of draw or buff. A good casting might get up to 500k pounds. This is about equal to the maximum tractive effort of three 6 axle locomotives. The knuckle is the weakest part because it's relatively easy to change.

You forget potholes. Never forget potholes. Trucks cause 90% of wear and tear and pay 45% of fuel taxes. And that is not even the whole maintenance. USA government subsidize truckers with up to 200 billion dollars per year. When Socialists say no private company is able to build roads, this is why. No private company is able to afford to subsidize truckers the way governments do. If you feel adventurous, look into budget deficits and infrastructure budgets.

@EpiDemic117 Transport journal and a doctoral thesis. Anyway, it is about the laws of physics. If cars that weight 1 ton consume 5-10 liters of gasoline and trucks that weigh 40 tons consume 30 liters of diesel, you can see who is subsidizing who. Even before we debate whether wear caused is square or cube of weight. Or logic. It is not possible to claim trucks pay their fair share, and then claim prices are going to increase if they do pay their fair share. Roads are that expensive and more. Or laws of commerce. If trucks are almost able to compete with the rail on a cost basis, then they are not paying the price. The system based on fuel consumed does not reflect the wear caused. That might have been acceptable in times when trucks consumed 1 liter per km, but not anymore. People have to pay according to the wear caused. The government cannot subsidize a more polluting industry over a cleaner and more effective one.
