Breakup Railroads That Lie!

Time to kill this mind-numbingly stupid thread.

Several years back around 1999-2000 BNSF contemplated a merger with CN, which the STB rejected, though in recent months I’ve seen CN engines along with CN/IC rolling stock using BNSF trackage here in central Illinois on the Beardstown sub, which includes black-painted IC engines and even maroon WC SD45s.

I believe a railroad that lies through its teeth should be broken up into two or more railroads. Because of railroading’s nature and importance to America, the natural process of ELIMINATING unscrupulous businesses through awareness is NOT practical. But government ordered breakups is practical, and very safe! A serious threat of THAT could orientate matters aright within shady companies that happen to be super important to the continued economic well being of the nation.

You mean like the Union Pacific that lied about forceing Model Railroaders to pay for stupid fee's over their Jack a** Swoosh Logo.

Bring back the CN&W!

It will take an economic crisis to get Congress to finally act. As I stated before, according to energy sector analysts, 2006 may be the year when it all comes crumbling down, as railroads have not kept up with demands for coal deliveries in 2005, and demand for coal is supposed to skyrocket in 2006, yet there has been little if any in railroad capacity improvements on coal hauling corridors. The railroads seem to think that increasing capacity on the import intermodal corridors is a priority. Combine that poor service with the current round of rate gouging imposed upon domestic producers, and it is easy to predict that legislative action is inevitable. The only question is if it takes place before the 2006 elections, which assumes the Republicans will take the lead on breaking up the rail oligarchy (less likely), or after the 2006 elections, which assumes the lack of action on behalf of the Republicans will result in the Democrats taking back the House or Senate (more likely).
