[quote user="jeaton"] Even the GAO report notes an uncertainty about the number of captive shippers.  " It is difficult to determine the number of captive shippers,.." [/quote] Difficult?  Sure, if one is too lazy to go out and make a physical count of all the rail shippers who have physical access to only one railroad.  I think if those beauracrats would get off their fat **** and make the physical counts, we'd find actual captive shippers to be much, much more than what the GAO is willing to admit. Memo to GAO:  It's easy to find an actual count of captive rail shippers- any rail shipper with only one physical connection to a Class I rail service provider is captive.  Doesn't matter if they "can" ship by truck or barge, or use multiple modes, or not, or if they can modify production to fit the lack of desired rail service, or not.  Having only one physical connection is captive, period.
