Hi Ian, hope it’s all down hill won’t have to put the cars in gear so often, that should save the pennies.

Speaking of the decline in fuel sales, get a load of these autonomous electric ore carriers, program them and set em going 24/7 with not a drop of diesel used.


What most struck me about them when I saw this piece is "Thunderbirds"! the kid in me remembers that Thunderbird episode when Virgil landed the Fireflash plane on those "elevator cars"

A Scary future prospect for truck drivers out there no doubt.

Wouldn’t they have used big bad oil to manufacture the steel, tyres, or the electric motors. In fact everything of it
