Speaking of Congestion ....

I was under the impression that competition between ports was very intense. If one port is more efficient, won't the ships go there? What does a port have to gain by forcing ships to "take a number"? Can a railroad demand service from a port? Can a shipper demand service from a port? <br /> <br />I don't know much about any of this, but after reading the comments so far, it looks like everybody's looking for a simple answer, and the more I think about all of this, the more complicated it seems to get. It seems obvious to me that focusing on one aspect of all of this does not accomplish much, and trying to understand all of it would take a lot of time and patience. <br /> <br />Does port's operating hours have a direct effect on railroad traffic? probably so. <br /> <br />Are their current operating hours hurting railroads? I don't know, but bickering about unions is not the answer.
