The 6000 grain hopper cars BNSF is buying. You see that as positive. That's all this railroad needs is another 6000 freight cars to haul around and get in the way and pay for. They are buying 6000 more hopper cars to simply keep carrying what they carry because the available capacity keeps dropping due to increased cycle times resulting from the slower train speeds. Those 6000 hopper cars will only add to the congestion. <br /> <br />BN's fleet is getting old and tired.It is costing more to fix the old cars. <br />I dont think BN purchased these cars to add to the congestion.They will <br />retire many of the older cars.
