They are slowly coming around to realizing they have to work with truck and other highway interests, that cooperative efforts and programs are what will get them all what they want and need to exist, if not prosper, over time.</FONT> Business in this country is coming around to understand that short range profits are not profitable for long term gains, they can't just think about their bank accounts this year, but also the bank accounts of the country and business for many years to come. </P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=georgia,palatino>So how exactly does this work?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You say that railroads are slowly coming around to realize they have to work with truck and other highway interests, and that cooperative efforts and programs are what will get them all what they want and need in order to exist over time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=georgia,palatino><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>How will cooperative efforts and programs get them what they want?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=georgia,palatino><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"></SPAN>Who will they get what they want from?</FONT></SPAN></P>
