Let me give you a little insight on what happened to me, similar situation on a much smaller scale. <br /> <br />I'm going to RR school up here in Vancouver at BCIT. Are campus is right on a major Vancouver yard shared by CN and BNSF. We had a siding that we were going to use to bring in some rolling stock so we could study it and learn all the parts, etc. <br /> <br />One morning we went out and CN had removed the switch! (apparently they needed it somewhere else) <br />One of the instructors called CN and asked if they could put another one in, and they said no problem, all we had to do is foot the bill at $50,000. <br /> <br />Fat chance. <br /> <br />So now we have this long siding going into our school property and no switch to connect us to the yard... [:(] <br /> <br />RR are pretty much keeping track of everydollar nowadays with profit margins being so small, charity isn't high on the list.
