[/quote] Are you starting to see a pattern deveolping here. [/quote] Yes, there is a pattern that is well defined, and that is one of a certain group of forum participants who seem bent on intentionally trying to force a lockdown, because their arguments fall short and they're only left with obfuscation as a last resort. Oh well, I'll just keep on posting items of interest relating to railroads, some of which will ruffle some feathers, because the light needs to shine on certain railroad corporate practices that are detrimental to genre I love. [/quote] Unfortunately for your argument, the "light that being shone" is on the fact that you try to throw a negative spin on even the articles YOU provide the link to read, even introduce your version of "facts" that don't show up anwhere in the article. Especially the ones that relate to a certain railroad that you "don't have a vendetta against, honest." It seems your arguments are the ones that "fall short" in the verifiable facts department. [/quote] Well, the article itself takes an upfront negativism regarding BNSF's actions. No spin needed. And if you think that facts about a railroad company are limited to what is presented in the occasionaly news article, then you are living somewhere in the deepest recesses of the universe. Gee, Tom. The article says nothing about BNSF having orange and green locomotives, yet I will state that BNSF does. Is that a fact or a "fact"? The article mentions nothing about which route BNSF uses to get from Quincy to Tacoma, yet I aver that BNSF's route between Quincy and Tacoma goes by way of the Cascade Tunnel. Is that a fact, or is it a "fact"? The Quincy produce article mentions nothing about the WATCO problems on the Palouse, and the WATCO Palouse article mentions nothing about the Quincy produce problems. So does that mean that neither problem exists in the other article's realm? Heady stuff there, Tom. You seem to imply that since a posted article fails to mention all relevant facts about BNSF's p.r. problems throughout the Paciric Northwest and the Northern Tier states, such unmentioned facts do not exist. If that's your POV, you're beyond any reasonable help.
