What was the shortline viability rule of thumb? 100 carloads per mile per year? How many carloads minimum would probably ship from this plant each year, more than a few hundred? If so, then UP can more than afford to pay for a few miles of upgraded spur line. Remember, this plant will be captive to UP, which means UP is getting up to 400% of revenue to variable costs. Obviously, something else is going on with the railroad's management to derail this project. Something other than reasoned logic and up front honesty. But as mudchicken points out, the railroads are right and everyone else is wrong!
