Thanks again, it's getting a little more debated, there has got to be more CN fans out their that agree with me. For the record, CN isn't my favorite railroad, they just run a great railroad. MP 173, the reason NS has more locomotives is they move more cars in a year and have more track. They have more than they need if they were as efficient as CN. They move 1.6 times more cars, less distance (people have said in this topic they run shorter miles) but need twice the amount of locomotives to do it. That is probably why there operating ratio is 10% higher than the best operating ratio in North America, CN's. MP 173, if owned railroad stock it would be with CN as well. Yes NS does have some interesting ventures but so does CN. NS doesn't buy every little railroad out there because it has way too much track now for the area in which it operates. Why does NS move more cars, where it operates. The eastern seaboard, the top half, Boston to Washington, DC has more people than all of Canada
