Regarding open access, consider some of the new North American freight rail proposals that have been bandied about for the last few years, e.g. The Alaska Rail Connection, The Uintah rail project in Colorado/Utah, or the Lewiston-Missoula RailLink from western Montana to the barge ports on the Snake River. All these projects would connect with more than one current railroad on one or both ends. Since all these projects would require federal help, and since all shippers today are painfully aware of the need for competitive rate offerings, the most likely scenario for these projects would be to make them open access so that all the connecting railroads would have access to the new lines. Otherwise, the government ends up subsidizing one of the rail oligarchs, and the inefficiencies and indifference inherent in these oligarchs would end up botching up the whole project. <br /> <br />
