We are still not over the Gulf Oil spill, which happened largely due to an 
overdeveloped sense of money savings.  Many accidents in history are due to cost 
savings and too much attention to the semi-bottom line without regard to the 
real costs.  Save money at any cost will bite business in the long run.
All I am saying is that raising the portal hole (without reboring the 
tunnel) couldn't have cost all that much more and would have proved a regard for 
history and for other items that people would look at and say I want to ship on 
this railway.  They care for their stuff, they will care for my stuff.  It would 
have been good PR.  It would have upheld the corporate image in a very real 
way.  Everybody knows cost, few seem to care about value.
