- The state of Missouri enacted a statute limiting the size of freight trains entering the state to no more than 80 cars other than the locomotive(s) and the caboose. Assume that there is no federal law mandating a maximum limit of cars, and further assume that freight trains frequently consist of over 100 cars. Missouri justified the law stating that shorter trains are safer and that very long trains inconvenience drivers, causing major traffic jams.

Discuss the validity or invalidity of this law within the context of the commerce clause.
