Terry: <br /> <br />No, we won't pull up the tracks. They'll still be there, the backbone of our freight system, as they always will be. <br /> <br />Yes, waxing the car, driving to the convenience store for an ice cream, maybe roaming one of the classic byways of the country... sounds really nice to me... <br /> <br />And if you don't like that? Then don't do it- that's what freedom's all about. <br /> <br />And yes, I am guilty. From time to time I stray... but I always try to get back to whatever topic a thread is supposed to be about. <br /> <br />So going back to Amtrak funding, I would say, the tracks will be there, and if people really hanker for passenger rail so much, do you think the RRs are just going to sit there and say, "wow, a new market. No, we don't want that." <br /> <br />And if no one is interested in that market, it's probably because we don't really want it that badly.
