Not one thin Damn Dime from the public treasury - unless they are actually going to continue running. And not just running for their own purposes (fat profits) either; but only if the public gets its purposes met too.
No private enterprise should gain profit from public investment, but the public should. Too bad it isn't - so far. Makes even this foamer think twice about giving any more public money to private companies.
Bottom line - if railroads want to feed at the public trough, they better start serving public purposes while they're at it!
