[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br /><br />Here is another thing I wonder about. SInce some railroads don't seem to be overly interested in maintaining the mainlines, what if the government control the mainlines and the railroads just lease access to it. Like trucking companies using the highways. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Railroads do a fine job of maintaining their lines overall. The concept you are speaking of is "Open Access" and would result in the end of the railroad industry as we now know it. Many customer groups pushed for this in the past. The railroad industry won't allow it, nor should it. It is largely a ploy by certain customers to get cheaper rates. <br /> <br />LC
