[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrandb To change the routing now to a more goegraphically less desirable route will cost the railraod money, will need the condemnation of peoples land(split farms in half) and so far there has not been shown a compelling reason except "Not In My Backyard". [/quote] Bahhhh! [:)] If it was the railroad who desired to reroute to obtain a more desireable grade, and it was the towns people fighting to keep the route as it currently sits, you'd still be faulting the railroads opponents as "stupid/selfish nimby's" Railroads have been known in the past to re route to obtain advantage, so it's not like asking one to do so sets an unequaled precedent. Often the first surveyed route is the lowest "first cost' path, do we know for sure the lay of the land is "prohibitive" to a superior bypass route?
