Michael, <br /> <br />Your synopsis is apt regarding the difficulties of the small guy vs the big corporation, but it doesn't explain why the segment of the economy that can be represented by captive shippers, which is by far a much larger portion of the economy than that represented by the railroads, cannot exert much in the way of viable action to remedy those concerns, other than the fact that current antitrust law as it pertains to railroads effectively blocks such actions. If the Green legislation becomes law, I believe the rail shippers affected by differential pricing, bottleneck pricing, et al, will finally have a viable means to eradicate those market perversions. <br /> <br />Also, regarding Milwaukee's Gateway conditions, I will stand by my belief that the Milwaukee made a mistake in not including full access rights over the SP&S lines and the entire I-5 corridor, and access to Lewiston ID in addition to the Billings haulage agreement, to fully cover the PNW. I don't know if such inclusions would have made THE difference, but they certainly would have put the Milwaukee on a more even playing field.
