This debate has been going on for years. Go back to the old (1970's)Trains and see John Kneiling's (sp) articles. I think it comes and goes- with all the spin off of branch lines into independents, they are all pushing general freight since they dont have intermodal facilities. In addition, since the profit margins are often greater on general box car freight then intermodal, the companies go on sprees where they push it, then after awhile they settle back in the their mental fogs and it declines in importance. The key is service realibility- shjhippers will often pay and put up with the inflexibility of box car shipping if you can tell me when it will get here- and actually have it get here when you say it will- day after day.
