John Rockefeller actually said...

we need a rail system that works, not just for the freight railroads, but for all shippers, all passengers, and all consumers.

I'm going to be here; I'm going to be Chairman for a long time. Either Congress will do it or we will do it through regulation.

I believe the development of high-speed rail in the years ahead is going to be just as important as the development of rail was in the 1800s...

John Thune feels exactly the same way, as Byron Dorgan does and I do.
