Don, <br /> <br />I guess you want the Fed to pay the $120 billion? Why not the riders? <br /> <br />I am a little curious exactly where you are going to place your 4000 miles of track. My recollection is that it is 600 miles from Atlanta GA to Richmond VA and 400 miles from Atlanta GA to Jackson MS. How far is it from Atlanta GA to Miami FL? How about from Richmond VA to Boston MA? Then you have to get to Chicago IL and St Louis MO. You may want to bypass Jackson in favor of New Orleans. It just seems to me that you aren't finished after you have built 4000 miles of track. I just think that $120 billion is probably too low to make it happen and I don't think you can get popular support at the lowly sum of $120 billion. One thing to consider is that R/W is probably much less expensive in the Texas system then it will be in the Northeast. - Ed
