Maybe BNSF knows something none of us know. Why would the railroad want to start the cycle all over again? There had to be some aspect of the this service that just couldn't compete with trucks to see it die in the first place. A lot has happened since the days of the GN. Instead of shipping this produce in refrigerated cars or box cars that the railroad owned, it is going in private containers on private railcars. Would this make a difference in the amount of revenue? I almost remember some articles in past issues of Trains Magazines talking about how intermodal just isn't a very good cash maker for railroads on shorter hauls. Has some aspect of intermodal suddenly changed? I hardly see it as ironic. Maybe something more like fool me once, etc. As far as re-regulation of railroads goes, isn't that what led them to round one in the first place? Edit: After re-reading the "Fast Freight's Future" article in the Novenber 2001 issue of Trains, I have many more questions now than answers.
