<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="henry6"] <P>Early railroad promoters (1800's) thought there might be open access like described here. But since private industry actually built and owned the rail lines, open access never developed. </P> <P>Where I have a problem in marketing here, I don't believe it will be solely on the shoulders of the service provider but shared with the track owner to deliver effeciently. I could have excellent equipment capable of a zillion tons at a trillion mph but if the company(ies) providing the track (signals,et al) will only support 60 tons per car at 25 mph, all my efforts are for naught. Therefore, I believe the owner of the track has to have a stake in the traffic and the owner of the traffic has to have a stake in the track in order to assure quality service.</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Users of the nation's highways, airways, waterways, etc., which are owned by the people, have input regarding how the systems are developed, built, and managed. What is different about a railway that would prevent the users from having similar input?</P>
