To bad the railraods have to pay for and maintain their own rights of way.Pay taxes on that land also.Are you saying its alright for the gov. to pay for and build new passenger lines?If so it will cost trillions.(It cost 2.4 billion dollars alone for a 20 mile streach linkimg the ports of L.A. and Long Beach.)Then have some private company operate over those lines?Also do you really think the frieght roads are going to let some fly by night private outfit come onto their lines and operate passenger trains? <br /> Well good luck with your idea of running passenger trains at a profit any way you want to do.
