A lot of the relationship between Metra and BNSF/UP is dependent on how the purchase-of-service contracts are currently written.  I understand that they will be up for renewal in the near future and I'm sure that there will be some tough negotiations about performance standards.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
