Bill this blog topic didnt show up on my puter other than as a Blank page under the topic "Dangers of Cheerleading, so I dont know what it says. Happens every so often. Might be by ancient 3 yr old puter?????
Anyway............i just read todays T&G and I guess i may have missed something these last few days or maybe it was never mentioned........but CSX has to assemble 11 separate, privately owned parcels to bring their current expansion plans to fruition.
Has anyone stopped to ask what happens if the current land owners balk at being bought by CSX?
Best case there are extended acquistion proceedings & CSX succeeds. Worse case it becomes another HELO vs New London, Ct. type of case when the city possibly tries to acquite the sites via eminent domain. (It was HELO in New London?)....or.....do RR's have eminent domain powers already b/c maybe they are considered public utilties..........in the same sense that Nat'l Grid has eminent domain powers to run wires across private property (with adeqauate compenaation to property owners)
Sorry if i am repeating what is already discussed in this blog topic, but i was not able to read it, for whatever reason.
Acquire 11 separate parcels = a huge time delay if you asked me even under the poss time line scenario. All it takes is one holdout. Can you say Lousiana Purchase or Nebraska Compromise ?
