Here's the problem: CSX controls the tracks

Click title for story link Here's the problem: CSX controls the tracks Glen Cannon ["Can't we do better than a stool and confusion?" Aug. 18] sounds like he is well-traveled. His comment is about train service in the Fredericksburg area. He states, "The present level of service would not be tolerated in any European country, and would be a source of amazement and scorn in Japan." One big reason the railroads run better in Europe is because the governments there own and run the railroads. In the Fredericksburg area, both Amtrak and the Virginia Railway Express are subject to CSX, which owns the tracks in this area.
