The RDG as well as all the other railroads went bankrupt because the state was not only "competing" against them by subsidizing the competition's infrastructure, but taxing and regulating them out of business as well. That is what's factual.You know as well as any other railfan that there are passenger trains out there with low operating costs that can run at high speeds, but regulations even prevent those from running. But it's perfectly legal to drive Ford Fiestas and Smart Fortwos in traffic on the interstate at relatively high speeds mixed in with double-trailer trucks, dumptrucks and heavyweight semis. |
