greyhounds, <br /> <br />It is astounding how incredibly and purposefully ignorant you really are, given that the three "bankrupties"(sic) have been shown to lay more with the other factors not associated with the PCE's operation, profile, and alignment. Back when I was younger I had the same prejudicies regarding the hows and whys of the Milwaukee PCE retrenchment, because that's what the railroad press gave us. The struggles and eventual loss of the Milwaukee is properly attributed to the Milwaukee's lack of land grants and being the last line through by these historians. But to repeat the apparent falsehood that the Milwaukee is gone because it's PCE was the most "inferior" of the four PNW transcons is inexcusable given the insider information we have been blessed to receive. We have now been given a meticulously referenced accounting for why the PCE was a much, much better performer than that which the quasi-historians have laid out, yet folks like you just can't take it. It's almost as if you and your ilk are personally offended if your entrenched view of the history of the Northern Tier rail lines isn't what you thought it to be. And you call those interested in the factual details behind the PCE a "cult"? Take a look in the mirror, Jim Jones, you got the cup of kool-aid in your hands. <br />
