PNWRNM, I understand where you're coming from, however, the term "railroad" is infact a road with rails. Have all the living, breathing people you can imagine, but if you have no ties, rails, tie plates, spikes, etc, come together, all you have are the people. If you use the word "railroad" to include more than just the inamimate object iteslf is to generalize the term. People who work for the railroad are not known as "railroads", rather "railroad employees". <br /> <br />By the way, isn't Amtrak always in the sink hole when it comes to annual revenue? There is a shortline here in upstate NY attempting to get privatized passenger service to run from Rochester to Niagara Falls. No Amtrak, Yay! But the major problem is getting 12.7 miles of track put back in to once again connect the shortline with Rochester. That's a lot of money ... plus inspection of bridges, reinstalling grade crossings, crossbuck signals, you name it. But there are a few proposals in the works with GVT and Monroe County Transportation Authority.
