<p>[quote user="petervonb"] </p><p>CP can now pick up intermodal - and a whole lot of other stuff - in Kansas City and move it across their system. That would mean shipments from LA/Long Beach could be picked up in KC instead of Chicago for delivery in Toronto and Montreal. Tons of stuff from the South and Southwest (and Mexico) destined for Winnipeg and Calgary and Vancouver - or anywhere else in Canada - won't have to go through Chicago via BNSF/UP but can be picked up from KCS (or BNSF/UP) in Kansas City</p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>I thought that the originating road usually dictated the hand off points to second carriers, arranged so that the originating line got maximum mileage?</p>
