Gabe: That phrase, the "invisible finger" is a classic! Did you come up with that? If so, you should copyright it before Donald Trump nabs it and makes another million. <br /> <br />Mark and others: The notion that "length of hauls" is an indicator of business health, wouldn't it be more apt to analyze annual revenue car miles? It seems to me that railroads are shorting themselves of revenue potential by focussing too much on line haul length of a business opportunity to determine the worthiness of engaging in said prospective business. Does it really matter if a railcar achieves 100,000 miles per year via 40 cross country treks or by 400 regional treks? <br /> <br />It just seems that railroads have turned away a ton of short and medium haul opportunities to conform to the long haul predicate.
