Maybe you should read more attentively. I did not suggest nationalizing 
the railroads, but au contraire, breaking up the cartel that now 
controls them thru their owner****p of the right of way so that more 
innovative entrepreneurs could develop more profitable ways to use it.

We are talking about the right of way, not the railroad. The 
cor****ations only got the land from the government anyway, they did not 
buy it on the open real estate market, so that which gave, can take away.

Moreover, I'm writing about a new technology to make more efficient use 
of that right of way. Like elevating the trains so there are no more 
grade crossings so that high speed schedules would not be held up by 
dumb ****s who cant see a train coming. Getting hit at 200 mph would be 
a lot more messy as well. Cow catchers would not cut it.

The old trains can keep on running where they are now. Consider an el 
that could carry your car from a home in the suburbs, *OVER* traffic 
jams and you could drive off the flat car within a mile of your high 
rise office. At even just 100 mph, your commute would be just 10 
minutes. There some problem with Capitalist investors being given the 
op****tunity to set it up?

All that is required is the same powers of eminent domain that created 
the railroad right of way in the first place. Since this is done for the 
benefit of investors, what makes you think it is "nationalization"? You 
do think do you not?
