Back in 1976 when CONRAIL was born (I worked for them for 3 yrs.)the original intent was to rip up the tracks and create a trucking super highway. Crossings would continue as usual, just like with trains. The "sealed" system would reduce fuel consumption, control costs and crate jobes for those displaced from the railroads. Cooperation could not be attained, and you know the rest of the story. |
