<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="oltmannd"][quote user="BNSFwatcher"] <P>Through service to/from Columbia, SC (and beyond) would be nice. No more back-tracking, through Wilson/Selma, etc. to get to Jacksonville! Any chance SC can be brough into this deal?</P> <P>Hays</P> <P>[/quote]SC was on Don Phillips list of "completely clueless" states in his column this month, so, not likely. The most likely would be the extension from Charlotte south to Atlanta thru Greenville, Spartansburg and Anderson/Clemson, but I wouldn't hold my breath for that one, either.[/quote]</P> <P>Clueless is often a function of perspective. Another perspective might be fiscal responsbility. Given the large subsidy required to hoist passenger rail trains, many people see doing so as a waste of money.</P> <P>Much as I like trains (I use them extensively), they are not an optimum solution for every part or even many parts of the country.</P>
