Gotta love those high-hoods, especially if they're from Southern. Btw, wasn't the Stagger Act created to allow larger railroads to buy out less profitable ones d/t deregulation?

I think what happened more was that class 1 railroads were able to sell off money losing branch lines to short lines. Think the number of shortlines more than tripled after deregulation.I read there were loans available for short lines to improve the property and serve customers better than the big railroads had.
