I've read the discussion on CN being the best rr in the 'world.' Everyone says it is easy for them based on the fact their system is basically a 'T'. My thoughts on other railroads such, as CSX and NS lead me to wonder if a hub and spoke approach to moving freight would help speed up freight. They have systems that when looked at resemble spider webs. Lines basically going every which way. The air freight companies do this to move freight. I realize that were talking about a different time frame. But, I think the ability to move freight faster than it does, exists. It has to. In the earlier part of the century, freight moved alot faster on rail than it does now, and there was a lot less consolidation and no computers.
