<P>At a time when the UP and SP experienced a lull or temporary breakdown in their merger talks, some in the RR business press were speculating that SP might simply become a "toll railroad".  Since I have never heard of such a thing before, how exactly would that operate, and have there been other toll railroads in the past?  If it were a viable option, why, for example, could any of the lines making up Conrail (NYC, PRR, etc.) not have used the same option rather than submit to the govt. merger?</P> <P>Riprap</P>
