[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] One third of the way through it. Hold same thought as Mr. Presley regarding the author's overnight bus ride. But I should note, that I am finding Mr. McCommons' work to be more balanced that I had expected. It is also interesting to learn that the NCDOT trains operate over a State owned railroad. Likely, the initiative would never have gotten the "highball" if access had to be sought from a Class I. However, I must be skeptical when I learn of the author's absolute prohibition on auto rentals while doing his research. I can understand riding about on the LD's - even Coach as it is part of same. But the first observation suggests there is some kind of social agenda afoot. Also, while I'm not about to fault him for dressing down in jeans and T-shirt for travel (hey, when I fly I see enough 'road warriors' doing just that nowadays) but a backpack? uh, that simply discredits him as a researcher ostensibly investigating the need for passenger rail during the 21st century - and stereotypes him as one of the "colorful characters" with whom anyone riding the LD's eventually come in contact (observed one such aboard #58(7)).
