According to page 34 of ourJanuary 2005 issue of TRAINS, the rail share of the U.S. freight market is 23% with PRB, 16% without PRB, presumably for the year 2001. What's your source for the 41.7% figure? <br /> <br />As for the telecom thing, a PR news item is not an accurate indicator of whether re-monopolizing the Baby Bells is a benefit or cost to the consumer. I am more persuaded by the reports of customers' loss of internet choice and price competition due to this court decision.
