Greyhounds, <br /> <br />You don't like the PRB example? How about the I-5 between Portland and Puget Sound? Is there enough diversity of commodities to satisfiy you there? Don't both BNSF and UP haul whole trainloads up and down that line? Yes, you know they do. Case closed. <br /> <br />Let's go back to the railroad vs rail shippers example. You say that even though rail shippers are a larger segment of the GDP than the railroads, shifting resource allocation responsibility from the smaller GDP segment to the larger GDP segment won't benefit society? Do you know anything about dollar turnover? Do you not know that the larger the GDP segment, the greater the exponential growth in the economy with added dollar turnover? Think this through - if the rail shipper GDP segment experiences growth, won't that translate into more demand for rail services? Sometimes you have to give a little to get more in return. Investment is more than just cash into a market fund, sometimes non-cash actions can result in greater financial returns than cash related actions.
