[quote user="Datafever"]<p>I will admit to having another one of these periods of confusion. Why would normal interchange not apply here? Why would DM&E be restricted in the size of their delivery area? If a shipper is serviced by DM&E, cannot that shipper ship product to <em>any</em> end location? </p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>I'm just guessing, but I think he had a very good point.</p><p> </p><p>What I think he is saying is that even if DME takes marketshare from BNSF/UP by undercutting their prices, that's not going to do them a lot of good for the instances where the end customer is on a BNSF/UP line</p><p> </p><p>for example, lets say the end customer is in Texas, and DME is forced to innerchange with one of the other 2 to reach the destination.</p><p> </p><p>Just how much success would you expect DME to have in undercutting the price of either road that could HANDLE THE MOVEMENT EXCLUSIVELY on it's own rails? </p><p> </p><p> </p>
