Do railroads profit when providing "run through" power?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, dhusman. It looks like you are saying thatt the Railroads simpoly found it easier for the book keepers to settle the matter than to fight a war of logistics in keeping owned power on home turf? <br /> <br />Still, it seems somewhat amusing that these roads who never stop looking for a way to cut each others throat, are so trusting of one another with millions of dollars worth of physical plant, but I guess that so long as each party has their throat on the same knife, it works out for all? <br /> <br />Yet, I guess if I was a particularly large railroad who'd gobbled up half the continent in the past few decades, and had beaucoup motive "spoils" from the lines I had gobbled up, I'd probably look forward to every opportunity available to put those assets into some revenue generating capacity, as alternate to the scrappers torch.
