Mac, <br /> <br />The "capital starvation" to which you refer has nothing to do with public policy, other than the fact that public policy for other modes favors public ownership or public access of ROW's. Railroads choose to bear the entire cost of the ROW rather than splitting that cost among all the carriers and/or allowing public participation in that ROW cost in return for a certain degree of public access to that ROW. Until and if railroads are willing to let others share the cost of ROW in exchange for those others having access to the property, the railroads will always suffer from low ROI's. The inabillity to adaquately cover investment demands is part and parcel of a closed access system. Apparently, blaming "public policy" or "unfair competition" from truckers and barge lines is also part and parcel of railroading's closed access system.
