[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by TARGUBRIGHT</i> <br /><br />I could never understand the concept of run through power. When a engine is on foreign track, say NS on BNSF, is BNSF paying NS to use that engine? If I were a Businessmen, I would be very leary of someone else using my capitol investment. <br /> TIM A <br />[/quote]Tim, I think what most roads do is trade hours. You have three of my motors for, say, one hundred hours, and we are entitled to the same number of hours from your stuff. Sometimes a run-through agreement, where your power runs their road and their power runs the same route to you will result in them owing you hours. Because your power has the longer trip for them, they owe you so many hours to make all that even out. In other words, ain't none of them doin it out of the goodness of their heart. [and why should they? it is a business, after all.]
