By Hugh Leach Lansing State Journal
EAST LANSING - The hazardous road conditions Saturday morning added one more reason to Matt Marderosian's list of why rail passenger service needs to be saved.
"Train are more reliable," said the director of Save Our Trains Michigan at a rally at the East Lansing Amtrak station. "The weather doesn't affect the railroads like it does the highways."

As a Librarian I think I should point out that it is very easy to violate the Copyright Law and print the entire article in a message. Many posters on forums have a tendency to do this, but it is illegal. Please do not do this...give a thumbnail sketch of the article and then the link.
If a Publisher were so inclined, they could sue for damages or send a cease and desist order to Trainweb. We don't want Trainweb to be shut down or tangled in legal red tape! So, just a summary of the article and the link!

Those of you here who visit 'another Forum elsewhere', know my thoughts on the matter.
However, it should be noted that the originator has chosen to edit his pasting of the material to that of a 'brief passage' as permitted under Fair Use provisions of the copyright laws.

it's Mr. Gart...I'm the lone male on a staff of 6 librarians. And I'm glad Mr. Bnsf edited his post, that also is an excellent way to lead to the story link.
