    It actually might not be good news for the railroad either. When the SuperMax container ships start bypassing the west coast and run through Panama for Gulf and Eastern ports all of a sudden that brand new 2000 mile line isn't being used to the capacity it was expected.

    ^^ Particularly if the west coast port workers act up with their union shutdown crap every so often like they're prone to do.

    And if the FEDS quit propping the railroads up financially, they'll go under instantly.
