[quote user="nanaimo73"] So you are supporting the Democrats on this issue ? [/quote]It is a bi-partisan issue.  As such, I would support any politician who has the foresight and resolve to take a hard look at the captive rail shipper issue and come up with a way to allow all US rail shippers access to intramodal rail competition, and do so in a way that doesn't reduce incentive to invest in rail transportation.Ergo, I am fundamentally opposed to reintroducing pre-Staggers-style regulation of the industry, which seems to be the preferred *solution* of the Democrats.  I do favor the idea of eliminating anti-trust exemptions for the rail industry, a notion first offered by a Republican from Wisconsin if I remember correctly.It seems that the only way to get the STB to enforce the competitive caveats of Staggers is to force that action via litigation.  Such litigation techniques worked to open up telecom, transmission, and pipeline access.
