[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan LC, To heck with what I want, it is or at least what could(COULD) be a solution to amtrak's financial burdens. Since railroad aren't operating that kind of intermodal as I stated, it isn't compeating with theirs so it shouldn't make the railroads unhappy if they aren't directly competing with them. Rightly so that it is not a reality at the moment but the future possibilities (which my idea was a future idea (also hypothetical)). However; you can't honestly find any benefits to this? Somebody said that "reality is whatever he chooses it to be", "we make our own destiny". Future isn't a dream it is a reality. Everytime it is tomorrow, its the future and there is no telling what may happen. I guess we will have to agree to disagree than. [/quote] You still don't get it... Just because the railroads don't conduct THEIR private business in the way you think they should on their private property by running your "Ferry", you seem to think the government can just decide to take that property and use it for your "Ferry" service. I have news. That is, once again, a TAKING of property without due process of law. The government would need to get out the BIG checkbook to even hope that would happen. The legal circus would keep regiments of lawyers, accountants and consultants busy for a decade, at least. The railroads have no obligation to allow someone else to use their infrastructure to compete with them by hauling freight in ANY manner, no matter how imaginitive... So, Andrew, I guess its back to the drawing board for you. Oh, and for the record, you can't just get around the Constitution when it is convenient, especially if you are the Government. That is known as an unlawful act under color of authority, and it's a felony. LC
