In Re: BN's "Sprint" Intermodal Trains. <br /> <br />These trains were conceived to be truck-competitive in relatively short-haul lanes, with a key objective being the utilization of excess crew, locomotive, track and terminal capacity. To be truck competitive, they had to be operated on consistent, consistently available schedules. This often meant small trains. They were successful on their own terms, i.e., building volume in underutilized lanes. However, truck efficiency held rates below railroad investment level and more investable traffic grew to levels which displaced them.
