<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="BT CPSO 266"] <P>Having the railroads focusing on asking congress for needed upgrades to the rail infrastructure. </P> <P>1) Much of the rail network is like a double yellow line road with occasional brief passing lanes. They need to make the steel interstates like the fast moving highway interstates. </P> <P>2) Intermodal Terminal times need to be improved, having the trains loaded and unloaded faster. More organization and destination options.</P> <P>3) Encouraging businesses to move their warehouses and distribution centers closer to terminals or even upgrade short lines so business can us rail as an option. </P> <P>4) Reeducation of America, we need to take a step up and start informing others of how far the rail industry has come and how important they are to our future. <BR></P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=georgia,palatino size=3>If railroads need new infrastructure, why should they ask congress for it?</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face=georgia,palatino></FONT></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face=Georgia size=3>What is the purpose of educating the public about the importance of railroads? </FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=georgia,palatino></FONT></SPAN> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><FONT face=georgia,palatino>Why does industry need encouragement to move their warehouses closer to rail, and how would you encourage it do so?</FONT></SPAN></P>
