It seems the Biden-Harris administration is using all tools of the bureaucracy to insert government control into business operations and daily life.

For discussion, since railroads are monopolistic in nature, is intervention by the STB proper and necessary to insure the nation's economic recovery is not derailed? Or would the economy be better served by letting the railroads respond to market forces.

Oberman is a Trump appointee to the STB. He is a Chicago pol filling a mandated Democrat seat.

“Progressive Railroading”? Is that a poorly named magazine or is it devoted to how to eff up railroads?

Class I railroads’ preparedness to meet forecasted demand,

They could start by making recommendations to The Big Guy to not clog up the rail lines with tank cars hauling crude oil when it would be more efficient to transport it via, oh, perhaps a PIPELINE.

The prog are never consistent with their version of reality, preferring their "truth" over facts.

That is why they need the propaganda machines they call "the media."
