<P>Exactly, Modelcar, and as a railfan and enthusiast, I truly fear that one day, the system may indeed be shut down, and the "other line of work" will be the only one that exists.  If (or since) technology is advanced to the point where one crew member is enough, how long will it be until/before the technology replaces the one guy?  Since profit margins appear to be ever growing in importance (I'm probably revealing my political stripes here, but oh well), how long will it be before, as has been suggested elsewhere on this board, a Maersk or a Hanjin will snap up a US transcontinental RR and, ahem, liquidate the assets?  Call me crazy if you like, but it's hardly outside the realm of possibility, is it?  I truly hope it is.....</P> <P>Riprap</P>
