According to "The Blade" there are coal mines out in the state of Wyoming.

Supposedly NS winning the contract was a rumor.
Maybe there is some truth with the NS winning the contract.

Why was my thread not used and instead someone makes their own to be more popular when I was the one who originally came up with this when I got the newspaper. :evil:

We could start with the qualifying crews by walking rumor that was 0% true.

Hey, I don't make em up I just report em. When an NS official walks into your office and starts running their mouth it must be true. Because railroad officials don't lie, do they ?

This is in my mind a terrible article with nothing but speculations about speculations.. The entire article speculates that NS is up to something but provides no legitimate backing on why.. They just say "because they are a big cooperation" etc. just stated things that they "could" do.. While also stating NS has these other facilities covered in the areas. NS doesn't owe Swanton anything, and Swanton doesn't owe NS anything, business is business. So far there are not too many houses near the facility, but I would bet if houses close in they will quickly complain more about the noise then these residents are already complaining.

I neither agree nor disagree with your position. But I will point out that this is an editorial, as opposed to an article.
