Do these railroad managers use some formula e.g. ton/miles or car/miles to determine how many cars per train are needed to reach the break even point? The idea that they can't run a profitable train with 10 to 15 cars is anethema to me. There are plenty of branchlines out there that host no more than 25 or so carloads per week. Are these branchlines holding their own, or are they in effect subsidized by the mainline trains? <br /> <br />Dave
