Alexander and William, <br /> <br />I thought the freight rails were paid for the use of their track, but at a rate determined by congress not the freight rails. I think it is better to handle it this way than to 'horse trade' as Alexander proposes because if you work in currency everyone can see the value of a particular proposal. If you work in barter system economics then it is hard to see if one side or the other is getting a better deal. <br /> <br />Working in ca***ransactions is a better way to compensate the freight rails. Tax breaks would be nice too but then that invites problems too. - Ed
