BNSF shuttle grain trains, Does this mean that BNSF does not want to serve small elevators?

It would be interesting to define "small elevators". If "small" is defined by the inability to load a full shuttle train, there are a whole lot of "small" guys out there. I find it hard to believe these RR's want to thumb their noses at 25, 50 or even 75 car shipments. <br /> <br />As Mr. Sol pointed out, capacity becomes an issue at some point---there is too much business for them to handle now, why go after anything else? "Let the truckers have it" seems to be their mentality. They just post the fancy sayings on the websites, etc ("We can move your world", "Building America", etc) Barf.
