K,
Agree 100%.From what I have seen (not being COMPLETELY on
the inside, but sometimes that's better ;) )is that passion
is still there amongst the majority of the folks "in the
trenches", but as you say, the MBA's and the beancounters
run the show. There was a very good article in Trains...
Debodine,
What KCJ isn't telling you is that half of these so-called
"RR people" are "closet foamers" themselves and if more
(especially management types) admitted it, the nations'
railroads would run 'like silk on a babys' bum '!
(I'll step down off my soap box now.)
Debodine,
Try this site (rather primative/simplistic, but a start
none the less) :
www.howstuffworks.com
(p.s. being a railfan, I'm the same way when a train passes
by!!)
Cheers,
Bill
