[quote user="oltmannd"]I get the sense he thinks it will be "not that bad" and that the RRs are just inflaming the issue to draw a line in the sand a this point, lest it get worse later.[/quote]   That is what I would expect Phillips to believe.  I think the railroads’ current success story renders them to be a very juicy plum, just ripe for picking in a way that invites government regulation and “partnering” in many new ways.  When you read what the FRA wants to do with railroading through the public sector, it seems to total more than what the railroads are doing now in their private role.   <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I agree with Greyhound’s point that everybody in the supply chain wants a bigger piece of the action and would like the government to step in and redistribute the revenue.  But the government itself has a powerful self-interest that constantly seeks fulfillment as well.  So they are motivated to step in even if nobody wanted them to. <o:p></o:p>
