Could you elaborate on what you have in mind? <br /> <br />I think the basic premise of saying a linear system is simpler is that you don't have to time it for multiple trains, only for the inbound train from the west and the outbound train to the east. <br /> <br />BNSF apparently agrees with you. They want to shed huge amounts of secondary lines and have shortlines handle them, which would make their network even more long-haul than it is now. But their computerized inventory requirements, and a slow financial market making capital and industry scarce, has significantly slowed this initiative.
