[quote user="Murphy Siding"]     AG:  You're suggesting that CSX spend money to make a bridge look better, even though a prettier bridge will not make a penny more for the bridge owner?  OK.  Why stop there?  Why not make the railroads keep open money losing branch lines too?  After all, pulling up a money-losing branch line certainly must pull down the property values of "some poor suckers" along the line, right?      [}:)]Actually, I get the feeling that you're playing devil's advocate here. [/quote] In reply to the first paragraph, it's really a matter of degree. And it is of a nature that has a significant impact upon the peoples lives who have that rusting hulk imposing on their skyline. If no body ever repainted bridges, that would be one thing. But here we have an entity that stands out in that regard, from outward appearances they are doing so for profit motive, and I think they need to be a little more sensitive to the impact they are having. Paragraph 2...yes somewhat.   But I'm neither an ex nor an aspiring paint salesman. thanks for the smile tho, it made me chuckle
