I'm old enough to remember when Mouse, like the proverbial broke clock, use to be right twice a day, in some of his posts... The hands have finally fallen off... The part about choo-choo's in this story is where?

I'm certainly no fan of the CHSRA's poor planning, incompetence, bloated design, and exhorbitant costs, nor of our societies other excesses, by individuals, corporations, or "gubmints", including flushing destructive pollutants into the planet that feeds us.

There is has always been plenty of pork and trade offs in American legislative politics, and this seems no better nor worse than most.

But, this story and this bill seem to have nothing whatsoever to do with your evil Thomas fetish about the vast sinister train conspiracy?

You are all mostly into this kind of obsessive spin these days... The obsession with Thomas's vast evil rail conspiracy now includes private capital, not just these evil American system's of "gubmint"...
