[quote user="Murphy Siding"][quote user="futuremodal"] <p>[quote user="Murphy Siding"] My bad! I was thinking CN, not BC. My apologies. I should have said: Ya know.....I just can't believe that a multi-million dollar railroad corporation doesn't take unsolicited advice from railfans. What were they thinking?<span class="smiley">[;)]</span>[/quote]</p><p>Hmmmmmm......</p><p>Methinks you find it incredulous that big corporations may take the time to provide audience to nobody's like me who just happen to have an idea or two. Certainly it isn't par for the course, but some rail-related corporations big and small often do take the time to listen to unsolicited input, even to the point of providing transportation, room, and board to the meeting. I've had the fortune to get such audiences from two Class I railroads, three shortline/regionals, two rail car manufacturers, one railcar leasing company, and one bi-modal company.</p><p>Murphy, my advice to you (unsolicited, of course!<span class="smiley">[;)] ) should you ever have an idea you'd like to present to some corporate bigwigs, is to go for it. 9 times out of 10 you'll be rejected, but that 1 time you are accepted is pretty sweet.</span></p><p><span class="smiley">Just make sure you get some legal advice first.</span></p><p>[/quote] That being the case, I applaud you. Let me know when you have an audience with Kevin Schaeffer. I'm in the next building to the west of his office. Have your people call my people-we'll do lunch!<span class="smiley">[dinner]</span>[/quote]</p><p>Sounds great. Does Sioux Falls have a Hooters?</p>
