[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by route_rock Back to the west of Chicago deal 1983 numbers for you B&O is paying $2,025,000 annual rent with an option to buy.This lease is 50 years long.It covers joliet west and has no mention of Peoria(which isnt owned by CSX but by IAIS) Thats a lot of cash every year ok.Maybe they dont own it but here is a lesson in semantics then.The NKP is not owned by NS cause it entered into a 99 year lease with N&W.Face it they own it.If I am moving 2 million in my money to it and maintaining tracks(well upgrading the hell out of them)and I sign on for 50 years then I will say I own the line.Semantics is all it is and it is no excuse for people to say we own/run/have anything to do with that line?Ptt I think some foamers would make great rail bosses look at John Bromley [:-^] better yet Mr Barriger even. Shall I go on?You can be a worker and a fan and yes even bean counters are railroaders(but who takes pics of people counting beans?)Face it these people want pics of trains and th people that run them be thankful we have a lobbying group that actually cares about us.Someday maybe one will help you out (but I doubt it if they recognize you from your postings[:D][(-D][(-D][:-,][}:)][soapbox] be safe all. [/quote]Foamers, Semantics and point of view are all well and good But what vision for future business and opportunity do you see? Don't get caught in the Romance trap, as Baldy White used to say, "Romance is deadly to a bidness when not put to constructive use in growing that bidness." [#ditto] [^][;)][:-,] [tup][:-^][yeah]
