Some pork barrel politicians are out to build what they call 1-66 across Southern Kentucky. They already have a good 4-lane east-west limited-access toll highway, that due to low traffic, is still collecting toll after 25-30 years or more and hasn't been paid off yet. The people most benefiting from such a new road would be, (guess), trucking companies. It makes one wonder just how much money the truckers have slipped in the politicians pockets anyway?. Much more traffic across Kentucky goes north and south, from Louisville to Nashville, and from Cincinnati to Knoxville, etc. Why are state and federal 'servants' so prone to push new roads whether they are needed or not, and leave older roads that need repairs out in the cold. (They are servants, taxpayers pay their wages.) In Kentucky the Highway Cabinet is very powerful. In the meantime, the goverment tax RRs to death on fuel, etc. I say that every one interested in trains and railroads ought to find out their friends in congress(both states and federal) and throw the other bums out, no matter what their party! Let them earn their own living for a change! They been on the public dole long enough!Maybe MR or RMC could make such a list for us so we would know how to vote next election!! <br /> Ole Greenriver
