[/quote] I agree with you. Railroads pay itself in a few time. A line linking Americas could cost a lot of money today, but it can be a great solution for future problens that will come. For how long petroleum will remain? A railroad can be electrified, a plane not. South america has a great electric potencial and can be electrify all its railroads. EFVM is one of the brazilian railroads that have prepared itself for electrification when petroleum starts to finish around the world. Pedro [/quote] Pedro, In your estimation, would the concept of the land grant work to expand the rail infrastructure in South America? If my idea was implemented (e.g. not a land grant per se but a granting of a "sustainable endowment" of forest reserves in which the proceeds from the sale of timber is used to pay interest and/or dividends on the equity used to finance the project), would that be possible?
