Thanks for the kind words gents, <br />Would also like to add in while we're doing the truck math, not to forget that the RR will be getting 2 revenue producing runs per month guaranteed per car in the 55 unit train. Normal turnaround for conventional reefer cars is 28 days avg per revenue trip. Put in an aging 57 foot mech reefer fleet, less yard switching, humping and bad order cars (64 ft cars are brand new and satellite controlled). UP also gets a strong presence in WA state, typically BN country, whose reefer fleet is in even worse shape and whose avg DELIVERY time is 14-22 days on perishables. (UP is 8 from ID, 10 from CA) <br />And yes, Express Lane service was avail, but it was an added cost for what boiled down to 1 day earlier service from the west coast because the UP had basically streamlined their whole operation so well that conventionals would show up the next day or two anyway. (On CSX anyway, NYC, BOS etc...) <br />regards, <br />Bill
