[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Murphy Siding I would like to see what other posters think would be good ideas for articles in Trains Magazine. I can't say I'd be excited about a 3-part feature on open access though. ([;)]Gotcha Dave[:-,]) .[:)]. [/quote] A 3 part feature on Open Access would barely scratch the surface. For one, you've got the variations of OA in Australia and Europe. Secondly, you'd need a detailed comparison of OA at work in other modes. Thirdly, you've got this huge pent up capital market that could explode onto the scene if shippers and 3PL's/3PI's started running their own trains to their specifications. Fourthly, you've got all the potential variations of converting the current closed access system to some form of OA. Then, you've got the painful transition for current stockholders and prefered shippers, and of course you'd have to dedicate entire issues to the opponents of OA, and what about the impact on the whole genre of passenger rail.........etc. etc. etc. Nah, we're talking monthly excerpts for the next ten years at the least![:0]
