I shouldn't think the travelling public's expectations are very high in that respect, insofar as they think about the freight business at all. I should know - i work in it. Mind you, I would have thought that with scrap prices reaching all time highs within the past few years, it would have been worth someone's while to have disposed of all the junk at Ripple Lane.
