Pardon my confusion and lack of imagination, but, why does it take a train a whole 7 days to collect its goods, when it takes only a tiny fraction of the time for a semi, with or without the ordering station, to transport its goods?? Compare the speeds at which these modes of transportation travel, and across the same distance (farm to farm), and please then explain this 7 day (or an actual "week") journey. Does anyone else think this is an excessive and unnecessary length of time? :S
