[quote user="arbfbe"]Oh please, "erratic operation" on the MRL?  Where does this come from?[/quote] Well let's see...........................How-a-bout 3 months ago when I was out in Dickinson SD following an EBD Intermodal to Dilworth MN, just for the Photo's. Left Dickinson at 6:30 pm went 31 miles, stopped on the main for 4 hours, at the end of 4 hours a new crew was delivered. Train pulled out, and ran at 40 mph, for 3 hours, slowed down to 25 mph for 3 hours, picked back up to 45 mph until Mandan. Encountered no maintenence of way, or opposing trains into Mandan, the train sat in Mandan yard for 1+1/2 hours before pulling out, blew thru Bismark at 40 mph, but slowed down to 25 mph 17 miles east of Bismark. Rolled like this for 4 hours, picked up to 45 mph until Fargo where it stopped outside of town about 7-7+1/2 miles westfor 2 hours, then pulled out and rolled 30 mph into Dilworth.For an intermodal that's awful erratic! [quote user="arbfbe"]  MRL's on time performance makes the BNSF look like a bunch of beginners.  Should there be an AMTK train running you can count on it being on time for an amazing percentage of the time. [/quote]
