Demurrage is charged to the rail customer by the railroad delivering the car. Car ownership is not a factor if the car is owned by another railroad. <br />Cars not owned by any railroad accrue demurrage if they are not owned or leased by the customer. All demurrage charges are collected by the serving railroad. If UP delivers a load in an NS car at their customer's siding, they collect any demurrage. <br />Arbitraries reflect customer ability to load or unload within specified a time. Some customers will hold cars as warehouse capacity and pay the demurrage. Others take deep offense at demurrage charges. They would rather pay a $1,000 waybill correction than a $10 demurrage bill. It seems they think it reflects poorly on their operations. Go figure! <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc <br />
