<p>[quote user="zugmann"]Wasn't that a bone of contention between amtrak and the class 1s when the former was running boxcars and reefers 15-20 years ago?[/quote]</p> <p>IIRC Amtrak ran LCL express boxcars and express reefers volontarily to better their revenues. There must have been a demand as this business grew so that BNSF limited the train length.</p> <p>For longer trains there was a revenue sharing agreement. And Amtrak used RoadRailers. But I don't remember when and why Amtrak gave it up.</p> <p>I think Amtrak was not required to move freight.<br />Regards, Volker</p> <p> </p>
