If that's what the Economist said, then the article is a screed, a diatribe, and arrogant. Or it got its information from a source with an axe to grind or with an undisclosed financial interest in a certain outcome. <br /> <br />What makes you think railroads aren't interested? No insult intended, but if you approach railroads and railroaders with the presumption that they're antiquated, dimwitted, or complacent, I don't think you'll have a positive experience. There are substantive economic reasons that created the way things are done at present. I recognize that street legend says railroads are the way they are because of (check one) venality, stupidity, arrogance, greed, or all of the above, but street legend is self-serving and uninformed. <br /> <br />Would you like to know why railroad transportation is the way it is at Chicago and other gateway cities? If you do, I and others would be delighted to answer. <br /> <br />OS
