How does a hopper car of plastic's get from Point A to Point B. Example: A whiskey bottling company in New Hampshire needs to make more bottles so it buy's a car load of plastic's from a company on the Texas coast. The problem is the whiskey firm's siding is serviced by Guildford R.R. So in order to get that car of plastic,that car will have to travel on Houston Harbor to the Union Pacific to the Norfork & Southern to the Guildford R.R. My questions are: 1.Would the shipping company have to contact all these railroads and make indivisual contracts with them to get the car moved? 2. Who would get paid the most for this move would Guildford because the final distination is on there track? 3. If the hopper is owned by the U.P. would they get more because they own the car? 4. How do railroads communicate with one another to make this move happen? TIM A
