    Houston is also one of the centers of chemical engineering for the planet. I have worked at facilities that were so big there that they had their own private train lines just to move stuff around the facility. And no not just oil.

      I watched a documentary about a man who lives on a train with his family. He drives the train around a steel mill. The train never leaves the mill.

      Large factories like steel mills always have their own train network. At leas there in Europe. I life close to an old steel mill that was turned into a landscape/architecture park. The railways were turned into bicycle lanes and make up about 80 % of my daily commute to work.

      I know, I am very lucky.
