CSX, <br /> <br />You miss the gist of the problem. BNSF is charging rates to move grain out of Montana and North Dakota that are 50% higher than the rates charged to more grain out of Nebraska, even though they are roughly the same distance to the PNW. Using your Hummer dealer analogy, it would be like the Hummer dealer charging you 50% more for a Hummer just because you live in the outskirts of the city, while your fellow citizen from the central city is charged the sticker price. Same vehicle, same dealer, but one of you is getting screwed, and unless you're just a patsy willing to take up the back side, you're going to fight back. <br /> <br />That's what's happening here. Montana shippers have finally decided they're tired of getting reamed. The only real question is why it took them so long.
