[quote user="schlimm"]It is hardly rubbish.  Else why would the chair of CSX have said this in March concerning more advertising? "What does make sense is that public perception of railroads is changing for the better. “People are realizing the important role we play in the economy,” says Ward. “We’ve been doing some advertising here at CSX, and it’s resonated really well because people are starting to understand the role we play relieving highway congestion and moving freight, and our environmental friendliness. There is a lot of potential for passenger service in various corridors. We just need to make sure that there’s a sound public policy in place to allow us to capitalize on what we provide.” I'll quote a NYT article glowing in praise for the about to be taken over Conrail.  I doubt if the public opinion is dramatically better now. "The biggest problem for the railroads may be overcoming their reputation for indifference, even arrogance, in dealing with many customers. Until deregulation, they paid little attention to selling themselves." Perhaps you can't see the forest for the trees.  In the real world, railroads are largely (though totally wrongly) seen as archaic relics.[/quote] Schlim...there is no substance in the recent quote you cited to prove that  "...most Americans have a rather negative opinion of railroads" . You have yet to successfully support or defend this statement.
