There is enough complexity in todays freight cars already, without introducing more in the form of ECP especially in view of the continuing trend of the railroads to expect longer life from all components that apply to rail cars and thus the reduction in maintenance of equipment personnel. <br /> <br />There could be an applicability for ECP on private owner captive fleets that are used in unit train service, of course it would be upto the car owners to apply the equipment and pay for it, leaving the railroads off the hook.
