[quote user="nanaimo73"][quote user="futuremodal"]  Dale,Question:  Do you think Mr. MC has a special right to be needlessly insulting in ALL his posts, just because he is a track maintenance expert?[/quote]I feel that MC only insults people when he is annoyed.The Ilks are different. They seem to insult people because they enjoy doing so, and probably enjoy your return fire.[/quote]Well, we're still at an impasse here then, because MC seems to get overly "annoyed" at general criticisms of his employer's actions.  I feel it is a legitimate critisism of BNSF that they do not see the PRB capacity relief potential of the DM&E project, let alone the inherent failings of consolidating all new capacity into one corridor rather than dispersing the new capacity.Here's another perspective on the consolidation vs dispersement conundrum:  The problems that led to the extended closure of the Orin line, e.g. coal dust from passing trains becoming embedded into the ballast, will still be present if new capacity is added to present corridors.  Indeed, adding more PRB throughput on a single corridor will only increase the coal dust problem, right?
