Churchie, Burlington Northern, and Santa Fe, have been OIL companies, living off the split estate they picked up from the government to build AND MAINTAIN IN PERPETUITY “railroads”, which they let go downhill. THAT is the reason we don’t have “high speed rail”, but we DO have oil depletion allowances and other , further, giveaways to OIL companies that USED TO BE “railroads”. Rail has no infrastructure to move that oil any more. Tar sands by the way, despite the TV ads you’ve bought into, are perhaps the filthiest, most contaminating, way possible to get gasoline, outside of reducing coal.
The AEI/Norquist/conservative, propaganda campaign to denounce climate change, facts, and common sense, may be the most costly in history: to our posterity.
