[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] Mr. Norman, consider this possibility: Perhaps when thinking on many things such as the requirement to provide passenger service as a relic of permission to build in the first place and the land grants as a long since paid for historical curiosity, (and I agree totally that this was probably one of the best deals the government ever made and in total costs some of the most expensive right of way ever obtained) consider the results if the attitude becomes, well the railroads are a private business with no real service to the general public, so they have no more right to priority at a road crossing than a truck in a side road. Let them wait their turn, or put up traffic lights where they get a light cycle, and no more. Can't happen? We are dealing with politics here. Anything can happen if you offend the wrong people. Too much insistance on "we are private we owe nothing for the public good" can result in, a "if you owe nothing, you get nothing" response. It is too easy for those in charge to get too isolated from reality. [/QB][/QUOTE]
