Let me see if I can recap 27 pages of BS in just a couple of paragraphs. <br /> <br />MichaelSol presents the theory that it was a mistake for the railroads to dieselize. He uses as his primary backup a study by a consultant who did a questionable study for an overseas client. The consultant, Brown, never did anything significant in the US. <br /> <br />We've had reams of people objecting to Sol's conclusions, and Sol has gotten ever more verbose in trying to refute these objections, leading to his getting somewhat snippy with TomDiehl, a couple of pages back. <br /> <br />One of Sol's talking points is wondering why nobody has presented any evidence to refute his conclusions. <br /> <br />I tried to make this point a few pages back: the rest of us do not NEED to present evidence to prove Sol wrong. The reason is that HISTORY has proven him and Mr. Brown wrong, and he just can't bring himself to admit it. <br /> <br />His continued efforts have reduced him in stature to that of a troll. <br /> <br />Old Timer
