[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] We have not yet addressed, nor for that matter has NARP, to what extent public funding should be appropriated for capacity to support this additional service. Does anyone here really think the roads would open their arms to the "manna from heaven" when they realized the strings attached in hosting more passenger trains? They did it once on A-Day and I can assure you they have had second thoughts about the wisdom of that decision; [i]"Who the he-ll are they to come on our property and dictate to us how and when we will run their trains?" 'Can't they just do the taxpayers a big favor and find somewhere else to run their trains?, Better yet, just fold up" 'That morphodite bunch of clowns...that don't even know a drawbar from a draftgear". "We are going to be stuck with these trains much longer than anyone first thought'[/i] Allow me to respect the privity of those who made those comments, even if deceased. But lest we forget where I was employed on A-Day. Lastly, from NARP's FAQ on "their vision": [i]Q: Does NARP’s vision interfere with the movement of freight? A: To the contrary – we believe this vision will help advance freight mobility by spurring capital investment that benefits both passenger and freight rail. Much of the construction aimed at passenger rail benefits freight including, for example, intercity investments in the states of Washington, California, and Maine.[/i] Anyone really believe that tripe? I guess the faithful do. [/QB][/QUOTE]
