Since you seem to know then, please account for the millions of dollars allocated to "finish" the SIRY, including installing grade crossing warning signals. Only 1 crossing had any protection installed. Where did the money go since it obviously wasn't used on the railroad?
If you can explain that, then can you also please explain how the M&E ran out of money before finishing the SIRY or the RV when public statements made by officers of the M&E during construction were to the effect that the condition of the SIRY was so much better than expected that they would not need additional funding to restore service to Summit. Or why the SIRY bridge over Amtrak was cited as a significant cost for the project, even though the needed work was never done to the bridge.

Proven Theory #2 - If you don't work for the railroad, you don't know more than the people who do, no matter how many years you've hung around the tracks, or how well you think you understand railroading.
