A point about crew size reductions: Such action didn't add any new business, but it also didn't take any business away, did it? Crew size reductions didn't cause lower average velocity. Maybe it increased terminal dwell time somewhat when having to walk the consist prior to departure, but nothing major. Did crew size reductions result in lower morale, which on the public face seemed to make rail crews disenfranchised to the railroad's business clients? <br /> <br />My point is the railroads seemed to be focussing all their energies to getting labor concessions, when they should have focussed their energies on approaching the theoretical speed advantage of rail vs highway. Expedient transport is a business draw, grumpy employees is a business repellent.
