[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tatans Try Canada and the C.P.R. they were Given thousands of square miles of land for free -----------provided-----they supply passenger service, well, they are not, do we get our land back?? somehow I don't think we will. Now they have a private museum of antique passenger cars and locomotives they run on their lines for their favorite customers. [/quote] ...They did provide passenger service - for about 6 decades, and later in history when passenger service was no longer as necessary as it was in the pioneer days, the railways asked to get out of it - MANY times, and eventually the government did let them out of it, sounds like the railways did a pretty good job of holding up their end of the bargin to me. It's not like the RRs set up passenger service for a few months or years, then stopped willy nilly, the government gave them permission to stop (AFTER 6 decades of service), and therefore the railways did nothing wrong.
