YOU'RE HIRED!

Is Donald Trump just a modern day Flagler, building dreams out to sea, only to be wiped out by a hurricane? Is there any potential for the use of railroads in what he does?

Donald trump has risen from the blue collar low income to be a multi-billion Real estate success, lost it all and was millions in debt, then like a pheonix, rose again and is again a multi-billion Casino and Hotel Success.

He may seem strange to you, but he has seen being poor, rich, poor again, and rich again, and from all acounts treats all his workers fair and with good salaries.

I don't see any reason he'd have to go into the railroad business, although he has branched out recently to golf courses and now bottled water. Hmm..maybe if someone approached him with a high speed monorail link between Trump Tower and his new building in Chicago, maybe he'd bite. [;)]

From the ashes of the Penn Central Corperation came the greater Railroad
which was Conrail.I have always held hope for Nortell telling those who could
to buy cheap and hold on as the clouds will clear sooner or later.

stay green stay safe

.....You know, if anyone could get High Speed Rail started and "on track", I believe Donald Trump could. He is a go getter and seems to know how to do something right when he does it. Most times, at odds against him too.
