Kansas community receives state funds for industrial park spur

Doesn’t anybody do anything any more without government assistance? What’s wrong with the shipper and the railway providing the funding for the rail line. If it’s needed that badly then it should be self supporting. If not then ship the stuff by truck. Much more efficient for low density traffic.

What’s wrong with leveling the playing field Robert J McGuire? Trucking has had it’s freebies for a long time now.

It’s all about attracting new business and jobs to the community. Rail access increases the attractiveness of any industrial park immensely, and when that ind. park is still empty, you (the community) have to build that access yourself.
