http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=6426 <br /> <br />Interesting blurb - "Now, the organization is assessing freight-rail infrastructure, too. For the first time since World War II, limited rail capacity has created significant chokepoints and delays, ASCE said." <br /> <br />Apparently, the ASCE doesn't realize that the limited rail capacity is all part of the plan by the rail oligarchy to keep rates at a premium, and thus improve their revenue adequacy. Of course, ASCE has their own dog in this fight, as they are a lobbying group interested in increasing demand for the services of professional engineers. It would be self destructive on their part to rate the nation's infrastructure as anything more than unsatisfactory. <br />
