Rail Road companies are the largest land owners in the US I believe.

I use them quite a bit.

 

I don't doubt it, I believe they were given a lot of land as an incentive to expand lines. At my work our clients offer need to seek RR approval for construction projects. There have been many occasions where the RR had no idea who was on their land and had no record of leases.

127' long pile driver ammunition.  16,000 pounds a piece.  They don't sell them at Basspro.

It's worth considering that things might just be a little bit different now than what we're used to dealing with. 

Now is the time to throw out pretty much all of your old assumptions regarding "policy related things that won't ever happen". I think that's pretty clear.

I can't argue with you on that.
