Post Body
Enter your post below.
you mentioned drainage and bridge condition. <br />what other environmental liabilities do you face? are there solvent/fuel plumes in the ground under any engine facilities? How about tie treatment facilities? <br /> <br />Also to the point: how much goodwill is there toward the railroad in the local community? (per a thread elsewhere, are there noise/traffic delay complaints? what will it cost to mitigate those?) <br /> <br />I don't recall any mention of the labor situation of your railroad; JunctionFan made a case for Canada, but what is the REALITY of relations between current management and the gangs that make the wheels roll and the track stay put? <br />More to the point, what attitude do they have toward their jobs and the likelyhood of a new management team?
