[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by 440cuin</i> <br /><br />One real problem is how do we try open access?

If so, I would nominate a current corridor which can interchange with more than one railroad on both ends (or has access to a deep water port), and currently has excess capacity. <br /> <br />UP's nee-SP's Modoc line would have been a good trial corridor. BCRail would have been ideal. MRL might work. Also, BNSF's Stampede Pass line, both BNSF and UP lines from Spokane to Pasco/Wallula (since the UP line is parallel to the BNSF line and has extra capacity), The I-15 corridor (UP from LA to Butte MT, BNSF/MRL to Sweet Grass via Great Falls). <br /> <br />There are also lines that are currently used by more than one railroad, e.g. Colorado's Front Range lines, Portland to Seattle, etc, which can serve as examples of slot cooperation.
