Also, perhaps DM&E has lower overall VC with it's SOP than BNSF and UP, which would allow them a lower RVC than the STB's 180% standard. All we do know is that demand for PRB coal is exceeding the ability of BNSF and UP to deliver it. A third PRB railroad may only provide an equalibrium to the supply demand shortfall. I don't forsee any cutthroat rates coming down the pike with DM&E's entry to the PRB.
