If you're removing the link why not just delete the post...it's worthless without the link. I was just following the protocol that was given to me by another Mod. about NOT posting articles, rather, posting a link. Sorry for the confusion.
As to dutch's comments, when ya have the goverment starting to make good on the promise of socialism the smart people will really quit spending. There wasnt even the Christmas rush this last year with the double stacks or the Z trains.

As far as train traffic there buddy its still in free fall. Things are not getting any better, i dont think theres a better view of whats going on then Union Pacific's Overland.

Government handouts, social entitlements...... those are the things i believe that need fixing for a better country. I'd bet something is gonna happen, ive been doing alot of reading on the stuff they dont teach in schools about the great depression, and some history on how far things have to go before there is real civil unrest. This country isnt set up to be guarantee on prosperity, its only a chance at it, thats what freedom is. Socialism is gonna be the death of us.
