Nonsense! We all know that life keeps getting better as we all get older. <br /> <br />"The older the violin, the sweeter the music". <br /> <br />Back in the 70's, the "experts" were predicting another Ice Age, it looked as if socialism was the end game for the U.S., communism was dominant and growing, and the population bomb was about to explode (as it was "two minutes to midnight" according to Erleichmann, et al.) <br /> <br />What Fritz Kahn is predicting is what anyone who has studied transportation theory and history would conclude, namely that the idea of the proprietary closed access transportation system is an anachronism that dates back to the days of feudalism and slavery. All other transportation modes have now evolved into open access systems to one degree or another, and most rail systems in the world are now open access in some form. If history is any indication, our NA rail system will either evolve or go extinct.
