Crewless trains testing in CO cuz RR's can't compete

Shallow article portrays the RR's as losing business, so they must cut costs by automating. No mention that their business is down as a result of their jacking up rates. No mention of their record profits. No mention of hedge fund pressures.

Maybe one day automation in trucking will require the RR's to run crewless trains in order to survive. But any savings from automation is far more likely to translate into increased profits and payouts to shareholders than in rate cuts.
