[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal the fact remains that the actions of the railroads post-Staggers (mege-mergers, capacity retrenchment) is the cause of the current crisis. Now the rail oligarchy wants taxpayers to subsidize the expansion of the import intermodal corridors? Does anyone think these guys would be in favor of subsidizing NEW railroads into their captive service territories? [/quote] [#ditto][#ditto][bow][bow][bow][#ditto][#ditto] Maybe if taxpayer subsidy is limited to helping new entities open parallel corridors, the existing RR's will find something they can do to solve the problem. Funny how when there are several competing entities looking for growth opportunities in an industry, they never seem to have a crisis that harms consumers. But once you allow a small handfull of mega entities to predominate an industry, then every little problem spells doom for the consumer's check book. Electricity, Gasoline, etc.
