CSX Following In The Same Footsteps?

Below is a link to a news report about the tragic crash and deaths in Texas. It's amazing how the story focuses on freight becoming priority over passenger service and this crash proving that freight and passenger should not be on the same tracks in this CEO's eyes. It's long been rumored that CSX may be using the commuter rail deal to gain taxpayer dollars by having the State of Florida take control of the rail lines for passenger service. The hope of CSX, it is rumored, is to ultimately have no passenger service on these lines and the tax payers bearing the burden of cost for track maintanence, repairs and liability, thus freeing up CSX dollars. http://www.mysanantonio.com/business/columnists/david_hendricks/28675324.html You be the judge.
