In the U.S., the great bear has been reduced to near prisoner status, surviving only for certain in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem (anywhere from 200 to 600 bears); the Northern Continental Divide of Montana (400 to 500); the Selkirk population in northern Idaho (30 to 40); an enclave in northern Washington State; and, most imperiled, Montana's Cabinet-Yaak ecosystem, where perhaps two dozen survive.

Locomotives that used to sit for days waiting for loaded cars are now turned around in hours. Empty cars are shuttled like airplanes. Huge "hump" operations like Conrail's Selkirk Yard, near Albany, New York, can sort 3,200 freight cars a day and send out trains to 70 destinations...
