Speaking of Horosho (the planet of perpetual rain), here are the cargo and
passenger versions of the basic intercity crawler:



Horosho Intercity Passenger Track TL10

     The weather on Horosho makes travel by grav vehicle dangerous and uncer-
tain, and communications between arcologies are maintained by a fleet of
passenger and cargo crawlers, capable of travelling the distance between two
typical settlements in less than twelve hours even if the roads are blocked
by mudslides or other transient terrain phenomena.

Horosho Intercity Cargo Track TL10

     The weather on Horosho makes travel by grav vehicle dangerous and uncer-
tain, and communications between arcologies are maintained by a fleet of
passenger and cargo crawlers, capable of travelling the distance between two
typical settlements in less than twelve hours even if the roads are blocked
by mudslides or other transient terrain phenomena.
     The cargo version of the track includes extended duration accommodations
for the crew, which are occasionally necessary when the heavier vehicles are
prevented from moving offroad.  In addition, no redundant control computer is
carried, since a breakdown in the absence of passengers is not considered to
be a serious problem.
