<p>[quote user="bobwilcox"]The CN, NS, CSXT and CPR do not want into the PRB. They do way to much business with the BNSF and the UP to sink lots of money into a project with poor returns after the rate war.[/quote]</p><p>The question was posed to AG to see if he's just opposed to non-Class I's getting the same taxpayer subsidies as the Class I's, or if he is a slave to the status quo, but since you piped in.....</p><p>I would venture that of the remaining 5 Class I's, NS and CSX would follow your logic, but KCS, CN, and/or CP are also Western railroads, and as such may opt for PRB entry to sustain their own desires. CP and CN may also concievably enter the PRB as a silent partner for either UP or BNSF, much like some have hypothesized is the situation with DM&E acting as proxy for an eventual UP takeover.</p>
