Quite a few had ulcers last time when all this was going on about the C&TS. From my view, that seems to have worked out quite well. They've created a new business model which can be carried forward to another operator, should that situation arrise, and the commission has a new mandate to take an interest in the railroad, along with certain powers and privilages of ownership. And many new funding alternatives have been opened up as a result of this new way of doing business.
Why shouldn't we go through the agony again? Hopefully, CHS will find a new way of looking at their railroad, new ways of funding it, and the whole world will end up rosier.
Since Colorado isn't putting much money into the C&TS, one would doubt they are able to put it into the GLR either.
Is there any possiblity that the people running CHS maybe have a little business sense and were just waiting for this contract to end so they could reorganize the whole thing to avail themselves of better funding sources?
OK, maybe that's a little far fetched.
