Futuremodal, <br /> <br />Where did Mr. Rose suggest subsidizing the railroad? From my interpretation of the article, Mr. Rose talks of the demand for transportation capacity from all modes, not just railroads. The article goes on to show what the railroad is trying to do to keep up with the demand and at no time is the word "subsidize" mentioned there. It is the talk about the roads and waterways that infer tax payers money. <br /> <br />To blame the railroads' past decision to eliminate unused capacity for the current bottle neck is kind of strange. Would any business continue to maintain high cost assets "just in case" the need arose 20 to 30yrs down the road? I would hope not. Not many share holders would play that foolish game.
