Neither does anything you have to say raise the level of this debate. Seriously, Tony, all abuse, ridicule, and insult aside, you repeatedly demonstrate your ignorance of railroading. Why do you keep asking dumb questions like "Why would a railroad sell rocks to itself?"
We all know the answer to that: because you hate railroads, and want to see each and every one in New York State ripped up and turned into a rail-trail. You are the enemy of every railroad, including Norfolk-Southern and CSX, and every short line, and every state- and county-owned railroad.
And I'm just the person to keep putting you off and putting you down, because I have far more experience with rail-trails in New York State than you, or anybody else.
