If done right, it can be. I was in the railroad business for 12 years, and it’s like the coal business. They do not want to bring it to the present day, if you have the right infrastructure, the right platform, and the right sales team, you can be very very very successful. The main problem is that the masters of the industry would rather fat cat, and anytime somebody that actually wants to kill the dinosaurs gets put out. I fukking HATE railroad companies.If probably didn't explore cutting upper management/CEO compensation and bonuses either.
This was a rail car business anyway. Which isn't a money maker anymore.
