Yes,yes and isn't it a shame about the Birkenstock crowd? <br /> I don't know how many lines have been abandonded; I was just about to find out, but while I'm a little preoccupied with fabrication, maybe you could get back to me on it. It would certainly save me some time. <br /> Whyever would I want to see rail travel as it was in the sixties? It wasn't acceptable then either. <br /> Yes, I know about susidies. That's how we got here. What I am telling you is that it doesn't have to be this way. People-movers don't have to weigh a million pounds and they don't have to be driven by petroleum. <br /> Corollary? All that infrastructure, rusting in the sun, built for hulking, latterday machinery can easily support railcraft designed from this millenium without massive restoration. <br /> One other thing: ridership (which you could arrange on the device right before you) isn't just about the greenbacks necessary to run things; it's about a non-contentious, yet implacable advocacy. <br /> I make things. If you want some excruciating detail, just ask. <br /> JB <br />
