[quote user="schlimm"]  [quote user="Bucyrus"]What are the answers to those questions?  [/quote] Again I say, why not?  Why don't you answer a question or propose something positive instead of asking more questions without giving reasoning of your own?  He stated a need (infrastructue upgrades) and proposed a solution (let Congress...).  Perhaps you don't agree with that (nor do I), but it seems to me a discussion would be more productive if you were clear about which part you disagree with and why so.   [/quote]   I am not agreeing or disagreeing with anything.  I just wondered why he believes a private business should ask congress for new infrastructure rather than just providing it by their own private investment as they typically do.    <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I also wondered why he believes that the public should be educated about the importance of railroads.  Doing so would cost some money for advertising or whatever type of education he is proposing.  The part of the public that is uneducated about railroads is not the rail customer, so what is the point of spending money to educate that public?  What changes when the public becomes highly educated about railroads?   <o:p></o:p> I also wondered how he would encourage industry to move their warehouses closer to rail.  I would think that industry would already know enough to have their warehouses as close to rail as they need them to be.  How would industry benefit from moving their warehoused closer to rail if they have already determined that rail service is not what they need?   You can say that all my questions should be answered with:  “Why not?”  And perhaps the person I have asked the question of would say the same.  So to the question:  “Why not?”  I would have to answer:  “Because I see no point in what you propose.”
