<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">The duration of delay and the inconvenience it caused begs the question of why it was allowed to happen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">assumptions</span> began with the very premise of the thread title.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is that the complainers were NIMBYS who could not tolerate a little inconvenience that the CN had every right to cause, and no way to prevent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The assumptions have been that the CN could not have been negligent because long crossing blockages can conceivably be unavoidable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe that was the case, but it is an assumption.</span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">So those assumptions in defense of CN gives birth to the devil’s advocate role of assuming that CN was negligent for causing a delay that they could have prevented.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So there are two opposing positions to this thread, and both are based on assumption.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on the limited information available about the cause of the delay, it you take away all possible assumptions, the entire thread is moot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has no foundation whatsoever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
