Hrm, my home on Scenic Hill in Kent has direct LoS to the sounder train
for about 1 minute as it passes from Auburn into Kent.  It'd be
interesting if we could get more nodes along the rail line and
experiment with "Tarzanning" from node to node and trying to keep
internet sessions alive (similar to the way a cel phone jumps from tower
to tower without dropping a call.)

I guess it would be similar to mesh networking except that the internode
links would traverse the internet if they weren't linked wirelessly.
That would be a challenging routing problem.
