Yes, thre are a few real & effective rail consultants out there, and I have personally seen real results with specific or easily defined problems in dealing with other railroads or state agencies. It's amazing what a back-line contact to Omaha, st. Louis, Schaumburg or Ft. Worth can accomplish.
What I am pissed off about really is as a participant, taxpayer and casual railfan is that every single time a public agency gets inviolved in railroading, (OR, WA & CA come to mind), usually track owenership, all of these high priced low powered "consultants" pile on like railroading has to be re-invented. Tap into the knowledge and enthusiasm that successful operators have and will share.
