csx what gives????

[JoeKoh]

Just have to question csx's motives. This summer they let CP 2816 a fine locomotive come through to chicago on their busy mainline.Now they dont want to help with the premeire of a movie in Grand Rapids???They dont wi***o help the PM 1225 move 90 miles? The 2816 created a lot of public goodwill around this area. Now they give themselves a black eye again.[B)] I guess let the public be damed.
stay safe

I guess NS is a good railroad too if you know what I mean.

Joe,
What was it the last time that they didn't want to cooperate with steam?
If I remember correctly,it had "something"to do with insurance?
I guess they would rather have the [B)] than to pay out all that money,if
anything were to happen.[:(]

I guess the liability is a concern. They used to run L&N Pacific 152 on the CSX CC sub in KY a few years back. It truly is a shame that the liability of accidents is a problem for all the railroads.

If you have ever been to Grandrapids we just dont have any where to put the train at in down town for public display. But i do agree with the black eye part no one at csx has figured out how much good something like this really is!

That sux. I don' t know whats up with CSX on that one. Mabe Micheal Ward said no, he dosen't wnat his railroad to be heald accountible. CSX can be very strange sometimes when it comes to policy and service.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword;

but isn't a shame that a two letter word "if", can strangle a steam locomotive.

What could happen could happen to a regular CSX freight that jumps the tracks and takes out a string of houses. If a steamer "did something", unless it was really malicious in nature, do we think people would sue? I'd like to say no, but the real answer would be "yes."

Off the soap box now.

Here is a point to be looked at. in the report I read. it says nothing about them talking about the locomotive itself. it is "It may cause a delay in us providing service to our freight customers. we ARE a corperation and we do have customers to attend to." As stated in other posts, CSX has told the museum I work for that soon all excursions will be cancelled./ why? because that is one more train on their rail that is not providing them with frieght revinue. the issue is MONEY, not power or "What if"s
