<p>I am not convinced that the Rochester opposition will be of no consequence from this point forward. While it may be true that they are asking for something that many other cities are more worthy of receiving, those other cities are not making noise like Rochester. I think their cause rises above the ostensible concerns about crossing safety, vibration, delays, dust, etc. At their core, their objections are almost spiritual, and in the particular state of Minnesota, they have righteousness on their side. </p><p>I am not sure what they can accomplish, but I think they will amass tremendous political sympathy for their cause from the State of Minnesota. Plus, they will have unlimited resources to wage their fight. Back in the days of the robber barons, CP could have said, "Mayo Be Damned," but not today. </p>
