Elvis, Do you remember the fellow who posted a while back stating a double stack car had to generate $8000 on a coast to coast run to make a profit for the railroad? Assuming a typical stack train is 40 cars (probably way too low) how many passengers and what ticket price would break even for a coast to coast trip? Some candidates for price & passenger combinations: 2000 passengers . . . $160 ticket 1000 passengers . . . $320 ticket 800 passengers . . . $400 ticket 640 passengers . . . $500 ticket 500 passengers . . . $640 ticket 400 passengers . . . $800 ticket 320 passengers . . .$1000 ticket It appears from this that you just can't get enough people on a train to make a profit. - Ed
