We can't lose what we don't have. Those jobs "lost" are only projections of job loss. You'd know better then I on most of them Faye, but the HSR loss is 10% of their estimated jobs.

CSX employs about 32,000 and that's virtually EVERYTHING east of the Mississippi River that doesn't belong to Norfolk Southern. The high speed rail was easy to shoot to hell because of the puffed up, bloated, ridiculous I'd give the HSR line about 300, and another 200 in rail manufacturing, everything else was either temporary or based on what might have been if???

I've been working on a Miami-Tampa HrSR line that's 258 miles from end to end. If the train they killed ever did get up to 180mph it would be beat by about 40 minutes with a conventional train on my reconstructed old railroad going 90. If it flew, we could add Orlando, and if that flew, Orlando-Miami. Once it was rolling, we could go into immediate planning to straighten the only little kink in the whole line which is between West Lake Wales and Sebring. If your interested I'll send you some information as I get it recorded.
