Whats is ur favorite Railroad Quote Good or Bad

[gabe]

I don't know if this is what you mean by favorite RR quotes, and I don't mean to be a "sycophant." But, it is Mark's statement referring the the Rock Island:

I don't have time to get the exact quote, but it is something to the effect of "they were charging rates that lost them 500 per carload and trying to make up the difference in volume."

In combination with reading some of the books that have been suggested on this forum, this quote allowed me to reach at least a junior-level "I get it" in terms of rail opperations and why some roads failed.

I think it is a great quote.

The one that I know of that really ISNT a good one right now is Union Pacific's " We Can Handle It " if they are...then where is the proof of it. With all of their problems,and licensing tiffs they are having,i'm surprised that they still have customers. I had ordered alot of videos through Pentrex,and never got them when I should have,as some dufuss dumkuff at UPS sent them to Utah on the UP. What in san juan is the package doing in Utah instead of here in Wisconsin? Called the UPS and UP and asked them both how do they keep customers when they pull this kind of stupidity? Neither had a reply.

I'm a bit on the biased side, but "America's Resourceful Railroad" is always a good one in my mind.
