Yes I cant seem to get a lot of support for property tax abatements for Railroads...VT and Montana dont tax railroads...Plus What about the State Turnpike commisions and the the tolls that they collect that would be lost if the the freight went to rail...As for Walmart Distribution Centers I am saying that since they buy in bulk they could buy by the train load and send it out by truck or Piggyback,,,They miight have enough traffic to justify there own Piggyback ramp.
