[quote user="A.K. Cummings"] What I'm saying is this: For CP/DM&E to use a longer routing than necessary adds a great deal of cost to the thing. Every additional mile a train travels beyond what it must results in additional fuel burned. Put that up against the "time, trouble, and further hassle" that you cite for moving trains through Rochester. You criticize me for not answering your question directly, yet you still can't name a single delay, cost, or hassle trains passing through Rochester will face.

Not knowing if a rerouting made from the combined systems would be longer or shorter, I simply asked.  Then the friction (from your end) started, for reasons I have no idea why.Second paragraph: Well, I didn't really think that my curiousity as to how a combined system might work, needed to be expanded into a defense of how the coalition might choose to continue their little whizzing contest. The possibilities are really unlimited however. For instance they might cook up some as yet unheard  (and unruled upon) grievance, lord only knows what that might be. With the Mayo's deep pockets, it could go on forever.It doesn't matter if the objections have merit or not, they still become costly to CP to fight against.  However now I see from the map you pointed to that no easy reroute exists based upon the existing lines. My initial curiousity was in wondering if one MAY exist, that would perhaps be seen as easier to use than it would be to continue bumping heads with the coalition.
