It is a very romantic concept, other countries should also restore and reactivate their rail systems. It will also give long haul trucks and plains a break.

It's hard to believe that railroads were considered dinosaurs back about thirty-five years ago. The times, they do change! Please, it's spelt baron. I doubt you thinking of Clarence Barron!

Moving commodities is always happening no matter if the economy is up or down. I am sure it was well researched before they moved forward and I do not expect any major changes. This is a good thing.

Sure he lost billions last year, but he made billions more that he kept. I believe it was Warren that once said (paraphrasing), "I made all my money in a down market, I just didn't realize it at the time". Warren is the type of guy that when he hits a brick wall he buys bricks. Folks I'd be taking advantage of the Class B Berkshire shares at a 50 to 1 split. They may never be this affordable again. The class A is over $100,000 a share and not affordable to most Americans. Some will say it's a risk because of his age, but I promise you he has trained his replacements in his philosophy. Warren is truly a remarkable guy. This perhaps one of the smartest guys on the planet when it comes to investing. Sure he lost billions last year, but he made billions more that he kept.
