[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ironken</i> <br /><br />FM, I decline to give my name......there is a reason that alot of rails do not post their real names on these forums and that is ridicule at work. I will however tell you the info that I request from you. I am a conductor on the BNSF. [/quote] <br /> <br />I'll take your word for it, since your contemptous attitude toward rail shippers is befitting a BNSF clone. <br /> <br />I had you pegged as some 12 year old Eric Cartman wannabe. Wouldn't suprise me if that turned out to be the case. <br /> <br />Me? You could have ascertained such by going through my profile. <br /> <br />I am self-employed. As for my connection with railroading, I own two patents on railcar design. I advise local EDC's on how to include the area railroads in their development plans. I am currently working as a consultant for a power company (no, Ed, I don't have an office window). <br /> <br />There's a storm abrewing between the energy sector and railroading, one that will make the ag vs railroads fight look like more of a spat, and that fight is going to end up in re-regulation of the railroads. Consumers might be oblivious to the effects of the railroad's abuses of the ag sector, but the energy sector has a direct effect on most US citizens, and as railroads continue to screw up coal deliveries and gouge utilities, this fight will end up as a regular event on the evening news. <br /> <br />2006 is the year of epiphany for railroads. If they continue to screw it up, there is no hope for them. Better sell that railroad stock now.
