If the railroads couldn't or wouldn't meet the demand, who did? If they lost the business - who picked it up? <br />[/quote] Dave - you are ignoring me! I asked some pretty good questions, without any of the flourishes in the other postings. I got right to the point and just asked the bottom line. <br /> <br />Without demeaning my poor IQ, would you please go back and just answer the questions I asked? <br /> <br />Mookie <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />"If the railroads couldn't or wouldn't meet the demand, who did? If they lost the business - who picked it up?" <br /> <br />Three options availed themselves: <br /> <br />1. The business in question turned to the mode of last resort, aka trucks <br />2. The business moved overseas or south of the border <br />3. The business shut down, and the money vested shifted to non-rail related sectors
