They had no problem deregulating trucking si that any company can serve any customer, let railroads do the same, i.e. Union Pacific can serve BNSF or NS customers.

And large customers, esp hazmat shippers, can run their own trains. The environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio likely woukd not have happened if those chemicals were self-shipped.

Woodenboat magazine has a forum, for years there was a restoration thread from Vietnam but the poster passed on. It’s lukely the thread is still there.
