<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have to keep re-reading the link in post #1 as this thread progresses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This thread seems to have been started for the purpose of feeding the always ready railfan outrage at Nimbys and morons, as if the story were about a break-in-two that inflamed Nimbys who just could not stand any disruption to their perfect little world.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yet I don’t see that in the news story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather, the story is about the odd coincidence of the break-in-two delay occurring on the same day that a grant has been obtained to begin planning for an infrastructure improvement that would eliminate the bottleneck that causes that delay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it were not for that coincidence, I am not sure if either of the two coinciding components of the story would have justified a news story.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main point of the story is that the break-in-two illustrates the need for a grade separation, and this might help convince the movers and shakers to get it funded.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p> </p>
