A freight train with proverb

 A freight train with 100 cars traveling 50 mph can take a mile and a half to stop in an emergency situation. That is 20 football fields long.

 Most retailers made major mistakes of putting their distribution centers at greater distances from each other when energy prices came down and stayed stable in the 80s and 90s . Retailers are long-hauling freight anywhere from 300 to 700 miles. With 50 cents a mile for a 20-ton diesel freight truck, it adds up.

 Not only did he (Bell) say something but he was the one who led the attack. As everyone came in, it was like a freight train. Once we got going, nobody was going to stop it.

 He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. The crew was whistling before impact and put the train into an emergency brake application. Unfortunately the train was unable to stop (in time).

 I lament for UAPB because they're in that situation. We were in that very same situation, and we had to leave at 7 o'clock to go to Hammond and play the same day. We are all experiencing discomfort with hotel accommodations. Believe me, I don't like traveling the day of the game. Traveling the day of the game is a huge inconvenience for a football team.

 I won't throw a shipper out if somebody else can pay me a nickel a mile more, because I don't want the shipper to throw me out when a carrier bids a nickel a mile less. But if I'm losing money on freight, I've either got to stop hauling it or get a price increase.

 We determined that the safest thing to do was to stop all freight and passenger train traffic over the bridge until it could be repaired.

 I've seen no improvement, ... What I see happening is a freight train going down the tracks, and nobody is either willing to stop it or wants to. My concern is, I think (the board is) buying something without understanding what they're actually getting.

 We never got in position to signal it to stop. We got between a quarter-mile to a half-mile behind it.

 It's the length of three football fields and it's twice as deep the one closed mile 33.

 Not only are they being used constantly but it's all stop-and-go, speed-up-and-stop-quickly miles, which are hard on vehicles. These are the cars that respond first to an emergency.

 Even if you see something and you react as quickly as possible, it's at least a third of a mile before that train comes to a stop.

 You are looking at a pretty heavy train that would take at least a mile to stop.

 Football would be fun to play those Golden Triangle schools. They're the mini-Big 12 down there. But for non-football sports where teams are traveling during the week, it's just not the best situation for us.

 Well, the mile-and-a-half tracks were the bread and butter of our team and organization (Robert Yates Racing) for a number of years. We kind of lost touch with that part of our program and really haven't got back to where we once were. I think we can get there again. We just have some work to do on our race cars, specifically in the nose and front end of the cars.
