[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal Latest BNSF *pr* report (from ProgressiveRailroading.com).... http://www.progressiverailroading.com/freightnews/article.asp?id=7867 Quote (?) from BNSF Group Vice President-Consumer Products Steve Branscum at a recent ocean shipping conference in Ningbo, China, "BNSF serves all major U.S. West and Gulf Coast ports, and is the country’s largest intermodal carrier — attributes that make the railroad an ideal transportation partner for Chinese and other Asian shippers." The article goes on to point out that BNSF is adding capacity and purchasing more double stack cars - which is another way of stating the obvious, namely BNSF uses it's profits from US captive shippers to make it that much more easier to bring in cheap Chinese imports. It should be noted the article makes no mention of BNSF making any investments into improving the export potential of US goods - 'cause they ain't! Anyone still want to argue that BNSF isn't predicated to aiding Chinese and other Asian manufacturers to the detriment of US manufacturers and our own hard working union members? Didn't think so.[^] [/quote] FM ya just gotta be the turd in the punch bowl don't ya... Just because BNSF wants import business doesn't imply it doesn't want export business too. An efficient railroad is best used with loads moving in BOTH directions, but perhaps in your pique of self induced blindness, you missed that... Of course, as usual, you just can't resist the temptation to twist some marketing quote to fit your own ill conceived and very transparent agenda so I can't be even mildly surprised. LC
