For the most part I agree with you Mike. Problem is most of those rail systems our cities build are in the wrong place and cost WAY too much to build and operate. <br /> <br />You see, most of them follow part of your suggestion- the subsidize side- but don't follow through on the other- privatize. <br /> <br />Oh, and Trolleys. That't the bitterest irony, cause it was usually the very cities trying to build them now that tore them out. "They get in the way of cars", "They clog the streets", "They're antiquated" etc...... And then proceeded to revoke franchises and chase out old tracks on trumped-up environmental charges that could easily have applied to their own sewage overflow problems..... <br /> <br />Oops! Not about passenger trains anymore! But if anyone reads this lives near the largest city in Oregon, you, too, know what I am talking about. <br /> <br />Thanks Mike! want to start a railroad with me? <br /> <br />Alexander
