Sacramento AP reports that snow or water from outside California could not fix the drought. It would require 182 million carloads of snow, 77 billion gallons of fuel, and about $437 billion for rail transport, with truck costs four times rail. Even at 50 mph the train would take almost four years to pass a point.
