I worked for them at the end. We called it Clownrail. Former CEO has a Harley dealership.
Managers got wads of cash, union people got fired by NS if they were union officials.

These railroads merged last year, who did absolutely nothing to deter it?
It was always private companies. Givt gave tgem lots of land and money, looked the other way at incidents like this, and let them merge like rabbits in the 80s-90s.
And took passenger off their backs in the 70s, forming Amtrak.
We need to establish National Trackage Rights for true competition and improved safety.
American railroads are going to have their Boeing days. They richly deserve them, even if genpop doesn’t.
Don’t live near an active track if possible.
Jobs was our asshole. New version of OS X would have issues and they’d fix stuff through point releases and things I noticed, he also noticed.
I’m not convinced that Cook knows how to use a computer. And he certainly didn’t know how to deal with Ive, which boils down to knowing software vs hardware.
Thank you, I agree with that concern. I need to get an older version of Rethink that doesn’t crash or is vulnerable to Stingray ops.
How many votes those Plutos got?
Rethink was okay for me, latest update seems to quit a lot, and it doesn’t warn me, just gone.
Back to DNS66, which at least doesn’t do that.
What kind of idiot would have hired him in the first place?
We need National Trackage Rights in the USA.
They had no problem deregulating trucking si that any company can serve any customer, let railroads do the same, i.e. Union Pacific can serve BNSF or NS customers.
And large customers, esp hazmat shippers, can run their own trains. The environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio likely woukd not have happened if those chemicals were self-shipped.
Railroads used to have to run their iwn passenger trains, govt formed Amtrak to take the burden off them. We could give successor railroad companies that burden back.
All of them…
Previously admitted
Fuck their fucking cookies.
Previously unannounced experiments with cannibalism in zero gravity can now begin.
Boeing shares up 78% on the news.
Maybe have a transportation secretary who has experience in transportation, as opposed to being a consultant and focusing on ticket refunds instrad of aircraft doors coming off and trains exploding…or would that hurt profitability?
All I had go read was they’re from Missouri.
Like Psmith if you’re a Wodehouse reader.
There’s a book on the fall of the penn central. It was wall street. Pennsylvania paid dividends through the depression, then wall street/bankers made the merger and it went bankrupt.
Conrail was 5 bankrupt railroads melded by the govt about the same time it also took on passenger service, big time corporate socialism.
First thing the railroad companies did was lobby to cut passenger-amtrak funding for more airport funding, see also John McCain.
