Some of the numbers I'm seeing on electric pickups are telling me there is soon going to be a new vehicle category - the road legal 'locomotive'. What this means more specifically is the vehicle has road tires, it also has rail wheels and a coupler with the air brakes. It can couple with a freight car, release the brakes, tow it some minor distance (probably from a string of cars to a loading or unloading site), uncouple, then drive 'around' the parked freight car on its tires. Once the car is finished the loco/truck can tow it back out to a siding and bring in another car. This would probably be about the size of one of the tow trucks used to recover wrecked semis.

Ive spent 30yrs in the auto industry while I have been away for 5 yrs I can tell you they are making one ballsy move here. Trust me on this one there are more than a few with there parachutes strapped on.

GO BIG or go home...Just make sure of your landing pad.
