But the bigger question is where is this money coming from? It's not free, rather if I understand corectly it's being paid by the shipping companies and the costs would be included in their rates, and ultimately pased on to the consumer. Rather than a railraod CEO deciding what segments of the Transcon need to be upgraded as BNSF is doing, John McCain will be making that decision instead.
