“The fixed rail or the guide rail, whatever you call it, is certainly possible, but I don't think it's probable. I think the cost, which will continue to escalate, will always make it difficult.”
Bob Stewart
“Every one is free to become whatever he can make of himself; free to transform himself from a rail splitter or a tanner or a canal-boy, into the nation's President. Our aristocracy, unlike that of Europe, is open to all comers. Wealth, position, influence, are prizes offered for energy; and every farmer's boy, every apprentice and clerk, every friendless and penniless immigrant, is free to enter the lists.”
Josiah Strong
“There's been an amazing transformation in the rail industry just in the last five years when you think of the Chinese product that came into the market.”
Jay Matson
“I don't think a split-rail fence is much of a barrier.”
Pat O'Conner
“It's not just about terrorism. We have Interstate 81 and rail lines which make transportation disasters a possibility. People shouldn't think because we live in a smaller town we don't have to worry about civil preparedness.”
Cheryl Weaver
“Let's face it, I think light rail is much sexier than buses.”
Bob Grove
“It's going to be a rich ballot. You're asking people for a lot of money. I don't think rail has much of a chance on that ballot.”
