BNSF versus Canadian Pacific Railway

BNSF sees CP as the greatest threat to BNSF's captive Northern Tier rail shippers. The recent South Dakota spat in which the State insisted that DM&E, Dakota Southern, et al have access to the "core lines" had to gall BNSF management, since it allows CP access to BNSF's terrritory by proxy for grain shipments. <br /> <br />On the other hand, BNSF has effectively bottlenecked and embargoed any NAFTA rail traffic from the I-15 corridor with it's discontinuation of service between Great Falls and Helena, blocking any CP/UP connections down that corridor and forcing CP's California bound traffic down the more congested I-5 corridors. <br /> <br />There may also be a suspicion that CP is playing a role in the DM&E's PRB extension.
