Henry6, you have said the following above (my emphasis added): <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> “But if you have a piece of track that is unoccupied for 20 hours a day, how much money is it bringing to the bottom line?”   <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> “If the track is empty and it is costing you $X.XX per hour to have it sit empty why not work out a deal to get at least that $X.XX per hour back.” <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> “If you can get $X.XX plys [plus] $Y.YY, all the better, but don't get greedy and try to get the whole 20 empty hours back: get what you can and cut your losses.”    <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> “I am not going for the quick buck...I am going for new thinking, new planning, expanded minds, expanded business, new money, new ideas, thinking outside the boxcar, whatever you want to call it.” <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My response:  When they don’t go after the lost revenue from those 20 hours per day, to you, it looks like they are not thinking out of the box.  Maybe the fact is that they are just trying to not be greedy.  You know, get what they can and cut their losses, as you say.  You seem to see their glass as half empty, but maybe it is actually half full.
