Is a ghost town. Drove by this place yesterday, (not knowing it was even there, previously) And not one rail car was present, though at 5 PM, broad daylight, the yard lights were all burning mighty bright. This must be part of the "excess capacity" that according to Mr Hemphill "no longer exists" As would no doubt the former Wabash NS line from Detroit to Lafayette that , with few exceptions, sat empty most of my day yesterday driving along side it? Whenever I read one of his articles (the june issue opener, in this case) "beating the drums" suggesting public contribution to the railroads to be our only means towards uncongested highways, I can't help but to think of the "redundancy" torn up and sold for scrap value by these very railroads who palms Mr Hemphill expects us to grace "in order to get our highways back" What is it he's really saying? that (as an example) the tax payer should be delighted to see Union Pacific "mothball" Tennessee Pass and run right in with cash and kisses inviting them to add a 4th "optimally located" main through Nebraska? why? Nyet Commrade! Where's my stock dividend?
