[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 440cuin Are the railroads poor? Or better yet is the United States poor??? All these train forums always seem to end up with that things don't get done right because of costs. Isn't needing a quick return on the buck mean you're short on cash? I also can't help noticing that many of the highways are in bad shape, even terrible shape realy. I also noticed in Germany for example the highways have very smooth pavement (they even put more diamonds in thier pavement for more grip!). I also noticed the railway track was smooth as silk too, they are electrified (wich we consider too expensive), they have built great projects like the chunnel, two great bridges over the straights in Scandinavia and big tunnel projects on the go i the Alpes. Japan, China even Australia does big projects, do they all have more money to spend than the USA?? Our gas is cheap but it is also brewed dirtier then "Eurpoean gas" wich is more expensive to brew cleaner...... because they got the money?? Or does money have anything to do with this, is it the will to do? or is it some other reason???? Our cars are crappy, our tires are crappy (unless we buy import products), our roads are crappy we have poor public transit most places...... sounds to me like maybe USA is in the poor house, tell me it ain't so but the more I look around the more it seems. Are the railway's problems just a reflection of the nation? - and ps; a big army doesn't mean you are rich, lots of poor countries have a disproportionaly large army, it's just a concentration of wealth. Russia has a big army too. [/quote] OK, we really need to get away from the Chicken Little thing here. The railroads will be here. They might even merge!! (oh, no, not those threads again...lol...) Where's Ed and DA Mook when I need them with some great joke???? LC
