A letter about transport in this morning's Times ends ~~ "WE ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM OF UP TO 100 TRUCKS WHICH USE FAR LESS FUEL, CAN TRAVEL faster when appropriate carrying far more, and don't conflict with other traffic. They are called freight trains." ignore those caps please

They used to be called goods trains, didn't they? Did this particular grey squirrel slip in before the influence of Elizabeth Cotten via Nancy Whiskey & the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group, or were they responsible as I suspect?
