[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mr. Toy: [QB] After my last post, I read something in the NARP newsletter tonight that was rather interesting. It suggested that the freight railroads reluctance to accept federal funds isn't due to the attachment strings (passenger trains). Rather they are worried that Uncle Sam might tip the balance in favor of their competitors, depending on how the funds are allocated. I can see one way that concern might be justified. Suppose there are two competing freight lines, one on BNSF and the other on UP (for example). If one of those routes carries Amtrak while the other does not, the route that carries Amtrak would likely get more funding, leaving the other at a competitive disadvantage. That's not to say these things can't be worked out. In business and politics everything is negotiable. But it does complicate matters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
