Newspapers need paper, made from wood and mostly transported by rail. Doubt that WB cares about controlling that.

I do wonder how this acquisition might affect AMTRAK?

Believe that 909% of AMTRAK is on ‘rented’ rail, freight takes preference (AMTRAK is heavily tax subsidized, as is most public transportation)

Not quite, not anymore. e-Readers / e-books / mediaBooks / netbooks etc. are going to be the primary news delivery transport of choice, if not of necessity.
