<P>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]One issue that keeps recurring to me in this and other threads is where FM came up with the improbable notion that BNSF is in complete thrall to the Chinese.[/quote]</P> <P> </P> <P><EM>"By their works ye shall know them."</EM></P> <P>No one has said that BNSF is an actual arm of the Red Chinese Army. All I've pointed out over the years is that when you compare the R/VC related to the rates charged to overseas importers, and compare that with the same charged to captive domestic rail shippers, it would certainly appear that the overseas importers are given favorable treatment by BNSF at the expense of the captive domestic rail shippers.</P> <P>Why an ostensibly American corporation would cross subsidize Chinese imports on the backs of US producers is something I'll leave you to ponder. Circumstantial evidence (and logical analysis) suggests that BNSF is under the control of those who in turn receive special treatment from BNSF. One thing we do know - it ain't Montana farmers.</P> <P>Spin away, Chessiewitch.</P>
