I perform eye exams for personnel at several companies that repair railroad cars and they have been telling me recently that they're swamped with work and hiring extra people.

I've thought that this may be one or the earliest signs of recovery in that the companies using the rail cars have to get all their cars in shape to keep up with the increasing demand. Let's hope so!

Of course this couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that fuel prices and insurance costs have jumped so transportation by rail saves even more money relative to over the road.

It all sucks. Thanks to Bush the railroads have moved to China. We're doomed. Woe is us. The end is near.

Ah, c'mon, that's SO outdated in our modern economy.
Rail transport of goods and resources was done by 21st Century Matter Transporters during the Great Clinton Bridge-to-the-Next-Century Era.
Now that GWB is in office, he's dragging us back to the 20th Century with all these increases in that silly rail transport.

Of COURSE I have proof... ya haven't seen any Matter Transporters lately, have ya?!? ;^)
