...this is not intended to sound like an argument for inaction and an apology for the "complexities of the situation"--complex as the situation may be.

Only the 962-mile Lackawanna is in any semblance of trouble; a $7,500,000 flood-damage bill and heavy losses from its commuters (who fondly call it the "Delay, Linger & Wait," but appreciate its on-time trains) helped drag the road to a $1,000,000 deficit last year. But its freight business between New Jersey and Buffalo is so good that the Lackawanna will climb back into the black...
