[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH The comparison made by OS is apt because both are speculative history of a nature which enjoyed a brief vogue in the early 1960's, such as "If the South won the Civil War". It can be a stimulating mental exercise but it doesn't change reality. [/quote] No, the comparison is completely inappropriate. To compare the demise of steam with the demise of the Milwaukee's PCE is comparing outdated technology with an incident of government short-sightedness. The former is gone because something superior came along. The latter is gone because federal regulators were lax in their public directive. The market perversions occuring in the Northern Tier today are an indication that a mistake was made when rail competition was eliminated. There is no such market case for bringing back steam.
