[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] I think Mr. Toy got it exactly right, as did also Mr. Norman. Having relatives in Pensacola, I can say the PNJ is no better or worse than most other newspapers, that is, when you read about something in it, you know you have at best an approximation of what really happened. Like most newspaper people, when it comes to railroad matters, the ignorance is overwhelming. And, as Mr. Norman says, this item probably saw print primarily because it could be made to fit a space that had to be occupied to fill a page. I think the idea of a Pensacola to Jacksonville service comes from the general Florida rail plan of a few years ago. Since the Alabama state line is about 5 miles west of Pensacola, that is as far as the plan can go as a Florida Plan. To carry on to New Orleans would require the cooperation of Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. Since the casino interests that rule the Mississippi Gulf Coast only want the railroad to go away, and that it be done at huge taxpayer expense, there is no push for passenger service from those that own the politicians in the middle link in this chain.
