Ladies and Gentlemen, I have reread every input under the topic Miscellaneous R.R. Revenue and looked over my notes and have come to one conclusion. The trucking industry is winning the long haul shipping war because RAILROADS DO NOT COOPERATE WITH ONE ANOTHER!!!! I believe what needs to be done if railroads are to grow. <br />1.All railway companies must sit down in a big room and come up with a way to standardize swiching rates. <br />2. If say, BNSF talks a customer to ship by rail but BNSF only moves the car 1 mile and NS moves it 500 miles then NS should "kickback" a small portion of the profits it made on that 500 miles to BNSF for bringing in a new custmer. <br />3. Railroads need to come up with train scheduling between each other so that custumers will know how long it will take to get a car from point A to point B. <br />I believe that if the railroad industry would cooperate with each other they can take alot of trucks off the highway. Am I wrong? If I am please straiten me out. <br /> TIM A
