Warren Buffett Takes the Train to Work. Why You Should Follow His Lead? Hit The Tracks and Go Green
Trains present a relatively easy alternative to those problems. They obviously don’t have to worry about traffic jams and according to Burlington Northern, when they carry 100 tons over 1,000 miles, they produce 45% less pollution than trucks.
And you can trace Warren Buffett’s thoughts on this all the way back to 2007: “As oil prices go up, higher diesel fuel raises costs for rails but it [also] raises costs for its competitors – trucker – roughly by a factor of four.â€
That factor alone could easily drive freight shipments from the road to the rails, not to mention how moving containers over long distances by train saves on labor, too.
Warren Buffet is the richest people of the world and takes train to work, why shouldn’t you?
