The SMART Board continues to provide evidence that the politicians
on the Board have no business managing freight rail assets.
Imagine. They decided to step away from the tanker-car parking
business providing maybe half of the revenue stream of the business.
Did anyone even ask "is there any evidence on whether such cars
explode while parked?"
Were they provided the consultant report in the hands of departing GM
Mansourian? Did they object to not having it?
Did they consider that running the freight trains at a loss will
come at the expense of passenger rail revenues?
Who are these people?
