I will Fed Ex to your local UPS store(they hate that) or Western Union to be picked up by the Antigates or any other alias you prefer. Or under your favorite rock. It's called a blind drop. Your aninimity will be safe. [/quote] The entire bridge is not marked up for repairs, so they very well might not paint the areas not needing it. Still, I'll bet you that once the current repairs have been completed, the bridge will not look like a neglected pile of rust. How about that? [/quote]The operative term here is "NEED" it. NS's bridge is painted for a specific reason. The reason is not to make it look pretty for the local comunity. It was built from steel that "needs" to be painted. What next ? Your rails are rusty looking and may be structurally defective? And they would look better if you painted them??? ?? [?] [/quote] And you are saying that the covington bridge is made from steel alloyed specially to not require painting? What alloy would that be? Looks like the handrails are rotting away into thin air based upon the pictures. Admit it, CSX is just relying on (borrowed) time, the problem they are creating is just not one that will have immediate consequences. For all intents and purposes picking their own pocket for the sake of dividends today. And having an adverse affect on the communities unfortunate enough to have them for neighbors. As Neil Young might sing..... Side note, rusty rails? that won't be until after NS steals all their traffic. [8D]
