In response to K.P. Harrier Who asked this question. <br />"Does anybody know what Mr. Gunn thinks of this whole mess? Is it merely just a paycheck to him?" <br /> <br />You might want to do a little more back ground research on this person. In my view, he seems to do this type of work more because he enjoys rebuilding something that is almost destroyed. As far as the comment “just a paycheck” is concerned, this man is more than able to walk away from this project and not notice the change in his own finances. He has restructured and salvaged a few companies in the past. He is a supporter of Mass Rail Transit. <br />If he was worried about the paycheck, I feel he would not make many of the statements he does to the committees in Washington D.C. It is refreshing at times to see someone as staunch and forthright with our representatives on Capital Hill. I am sure he would like to see the trains run on time all the time just as the rest of us do. <br /> <br />[In response to this string of messages] <br /> <br />There are also the same people that have livelihoods and business that are dependent on the freight getting through on time to be unloaded, reloaded and driven and delivered to keep these other customers content so they as well don’t ask for refunds due to slow service. As usual this can be a huge can of worms with many view points and valid sides. <br />I too enjoy train travel and wi***o share that pleasure with my own children. And hope its still around for many years to come. <br />I would much rather take time on a subway or train in the morning and read the paper or just close my eyes and rest instead of driving in hectic traffic with other tense individuals that are running late and blaming everyone in front of them for their own tardiness. I am sure that if Rail Transit could get the amount of funding that the airlines receive on an annual basis we would see the price of tickets drop drastically and service improve due to more rail being laid for passenger traffic instead of having to share traffic with freight. <br />I enjoy railroading. Have always been a supporter of it and it has always provided my family with a satisfactory life. Here is the the future and on time delivery for all. <br />
