[quote user="nanaimo73"][quote user="futuremodal"]  ...but at least BNSF is honest enough to publicly oppose the project (which only puts them further into the pit of anti-American/anti-Capitalist excess.)  [/quote] BNSF hauls Chinese imports to put money in the pockets of their shareholders. That makes them pro-capitalist. Anti-capitalist would be wanting to nationalize the US rail system, even if it is to lease it out to open access operators. [/quote] There's really not much difference between a nationalized rail system and a privately integrated, permanently franchised rail system.  It's like the metaphorical difference between communism and facism - the former is government controlled, the latter is government sanctioned, but either way the peons get screwed in the end. More to the point, it is expressly anti-capitalist to try and use non market forces to shut down a potential competitor.  If BNSF was truly a pro-capitialists company, they would welcome the DM&E competitors into the field so they could beat them on the market field of play, you know, provide better rates and services to the customers than DM&E.  That is the heart and soul of capitalism.  Then if DM&E does go belly up because they just can't compete with BNSF, BNSF probably gets first crack at operating over DM&E's new track. Your last sentence doesn't make sense - are you saying that an increase in the number of rail service providers is anti-capitalist?
