Maybe playing by the economic rules that the rest of the business world follows will force railroad managers to actually manage. I'd imagine that earning profits due to good ol' fashioned hard work instead of government coddling might go a long way. Besides, the rail industry is here to stay... the companies that control it, well, let the competition begin.

I worked during regulation and reregualition I was working when the Staggers act was passed and i can assure you things got much better after deregulation I worked both union and non union jobs.The reregulation of the Railroads will not be good.The Railroad interfracture,tracks and rooling stock will not be maintained and there will be a loss of Jobs. Retirement income and benefits will be cut.
