Back in the mid 1960's soon after I discovered Trains Magazine, it had a short news article about the City of San Francisco then starting to haul it's garbage to a dump about 100 miles inland with a nightly train. People laughed but the spokesperson for therailroad (I think Southern Pacific) said "trash is cash for us."
