[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal it is my belief that the user fee system applied to highway should also be applied to publicly funded/owned rail lines. The federal fuel tax should be extended to fuel puchased by railroads, and the funds from this tax should be used to add capacity where needed via public expenditure. Of course, for this to work with optimal fluidity, you need to add the access where it can get the most use from the most users, which means that a railroad's competitors should have as much right to use publicly funded rail additions as the primary railroad, otherwise we are engaged in nothing more than corporate welfare for the sake of monopolistic practitioneers. [/quote] Well FM, I think that you have a very good perspective on that....Gov't subsidy wouldn't upset me with a viable system of recovery in place.
