<P>There are certain lines in the US which would make good candidates for the toll railroad concept. The required conditions would be:</P> <P>1. The line currently has extra capacity available.</P> <P>2. The line connects to multiple Class I's at both ends, and/or a logical waterway transload port at one or both ends, and/or a major freight terminal.</P> <P>3. The line has desirable operating profiles.</P> <P>4. The current owner would derive more income from the line by renting it out to maximum capacity rather than keeping it all to themselves at subcapacity, or abandoning the line for scrap.</P> <P> </P> <P>Nominees?</P> <P> </P>
