[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cbt141 for all the love and affection people have for railroads, it must be remembered that they are businesses. if they do not behave in the most logical and efficient manner regarding their assets then they will fail and disappear from the landscape altogether. it is heart wrenching to see these changes, but maybe it helps a bit to realize that is just this type of dollars and cents decision making which will allow the industry to survive. look around at the local junk auto yards in your community, you will see a whole lot less wrecked car inventory this year than last. scrap metal prices are strong and "crushers" are actively cleaning up abandon metal everywhere. [/quote]Your statement is true but you also must relize the RR's of today are not only in for the money, but what about the history stake is in our future is at stake now more than ever. As rail lines get torn up one by one what does that mean and do to out past history? Rail line after Rail line is being ripped up more and more in this country and that "will" have serious consequences in later future!
