<p>[quote user="GP40-2"]</p> <p>Depending on coal revenue is becoming more of a liability than an asset for railroads. The EPA's War on Coal started it, the discovery of a 500 to 1000 year supply of cheap natural gas will finish it.</p> <p>Intermodal hauling cheap Chinese imported junk around the country is the future for railroads. Want to support you favorite RR? Just keep going to Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, Dicks Sporting Goods, etc, and keep buying junk that you probably don't need, and that will break in less than a week (so you can go out and buy more of it). LOL[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">The war on coal is just one battle in the larger war on fossil fuels. Price rationing is the only way to win that war, so people will have less money to buy things at Walmart, et al.</span> </p>
