<<BNSF (Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway) has started to deploy
Wi-Fi wireless LAN systems extensively in rail yards to allow crews to
remotely control engines used to make up trains. These Wi-Fi systems are
connected to a control panel that mimics the control panel of a diesel
locomotive -- "You can even blow the horn," Campbell said -- and are both
more efficient and less hazardous than manned locomotives.>>

So at least we know one place not to take the WiFi-enabled horde that is the
IETF road-show!
