I will pobably catch heck for this but, I believe the Elgin Joliet and Eastern is the worst run as far as profitabilty. This railroad has a outside track around Chicago and connects with every railroad going into Chicago. With Chicago being such a bottleneck you would think the managers of this company would exploit this and use it to make money. There actions do not exibit this. Example: Several years ago they ripped up all if not most of its double track. Now all of its train movements are limited to single track one train operation. High prices: Sources tell me that the EJ&E charges such enormous switching and train movement prices that even the most time cridical frieght could not aford to be moved across it. <br /> The EJ&E has the potential to be a very profitable railroad. The managment acts like it does not want to be botherd by customers. <br /> TIM A
