After an investment of $50M I seriously doubt that BNSF has a deliberate policy of trying to generate negative press in Washington. That would be a job for the local press to do. [/quote] You need to understand that some think the BNSF is the devil incarnate., [/quote] Bob - Who are those people who think BNSF is the devil incarnate? Why don't you name names and provide references to prove such an absurd allegation? I guess you never heard of tough love. rrandb, You will at least ackowledge the fact that sometimes management, irredardless of which business sector they occupy, will continue to tread the path of outdated thinking rather than risk newer ways of thinking. This characteristic becomes more pronounced the more monopolistic a business becomes. There is no intramodal competition there to force BNSF to adapt and change, ergo they will continue to stick to the "long haul is more profitable than shorthaul" mentality. Apparently, they cannot put two different tried and true philosophies side by side to make the discovery that dedicated unit train railroad operations can make shorthauls as profitable (or in this case more profitable) than long haul unit train operations.
