If I am not mistaken new regulations regarding emissions are in the works and they will probably lead to locomotives with less horse power and requiring the usage of yet more locomotives (as has been the case in past).[/quote] ontheBNSF, Thanks for posting those articles.  I think the issue of re-regulation is the biggest challenge the railroads have ever faced.  And clearly we are in the season of regulation. That article on PTC is exactly the kind of criticism I was asking for in the recent post here on PTC.  And I think it is accurate to characterize the PTC mandate as a component of re-regulation.
