[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by bobwilcox</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Murphy Siding</i> <br /> IF DM&E gets into the PRB to take coal traffic away from both BNSF and UP, what motivation would either of them have to work very hard to partner up with DM&E for grain shipments? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Since Mike Walsh, 20 years ago, the UP's business groups are run as seperate units. The grain group will be happy to work with the DM&E as long as they can make money for the grain group. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I wonder, is BNSF's corporate makeup anything like UP's? My guess is no given the bend-over-backwards-to-hold-the-bottleneck mentality of BNSF. <br /> <br />It also seems to me that the other Class I's do not engage in such bottleneck obsession as exhibited by BNSF, or at least to the same degree. At least I never read any news items about UP/KCS/NS/CSX/CP/CN bottleneck complaints, it all seems to be BNSF. <br /> <br />Are there any examples of UP bottleneck hording? CN? CP?
