You would think that they would have something like a GPS locator system
for each car so that it could be tracked .
They already do this with many trucking companies , they can locate your
truck within' something like 30 feet .
The big drawback that I would see with that would be that a rail car would
not have a power supply for the reciever/transmitter .
