[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by piouslion</i> <br /><br />Lets reword this direction just a little bit. What would get a successfull freight hauler that is performing more and more like a modern business, with improving profitability, growing freight tonnage, and an improved business relationship with both shippers and recievers to go back to what is essentially a 19th century money loosing, labor, maintainance, time, and capital intensive business when it does not need to? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ah, it's a different world. <br /> <br />We aren't talking coast to coast long haul passenger traffic, that the railway is forced to run at a loss. <br /> <br />We're talking commuter traffic in high density areas, where there is a need for an alternative to air or car.
