[quote user="futuremodal"]<p>But really, how seriously can we take the claims by UP and BNSF that "we're putting in track about as fast as we can build it"? They are projected to spend only $100 million for Orin line improvements, while the DM&E line into the PRB itself has to be a couple of billion itself out of the whole $6 billion project total. Shouldn't UP and BNSF also be projecting billions for new PRB trackage if they really want to keep up with demand?</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Depends upon who you talk to/choose to believe.</p><p> </p><p>If one <a href="http://www.bnsf.com/media/speeches/pdf/ci_testimony.pdf">looks here</a> the evil BNSF juggernaut is spending $600 Million in 2006 alone to expand capacity of it's coal distro network.<br /> </p>
