Default Produce going back to Rail Transportation? Lets Talk.

Well I heard rumors that because of gas prices ever climbing, they are leaning back to bringing it all across the country by rail again. They decided to stop travling by rail and putting it all on trucks because at the time gas was cheaper then the cost of transporting it on rail.

So basicly I figured this would be an interesting topic to talk about and how you all feel. Is this going to rise the cost of the produce itself (The other day green peppers were 4 something a pound!!!!)

If so is this also going to force restaurants into rising the cost of entrees as well?

Stir it up guys!
