Carload pricing is all very much on a per carload, per commodity by route basis except in areas such as agricultural commodities that remain subject to tariff. Much of the freight moving moves under contracts which are periodically renegotiated so prices can vary significantly depending upon route and number of carloads. Also, fuel surcharges of 15%+ are in place and there are incentives for certain commodities (coal and grain primarily) moving in unit trains. Contract prices are generally confidential so the average person can't look them up. <br /> <br />Many of the larger RRs are moving to public pricing which is more like a public tariff that is available on their websites. BNSF is perhaps the most advanced in this area. You might want to check their website for price information that will at least give you an idea of typical pricing. www.bnsf.com/prices.html is a place to start. <br /> <br />LC
