gdc--upon reflection, as far as per diem is concerned, you may be right. It has been many years since I looked it up. I would have corrected the post I just entered, but unlike some other forums, this one does not seem to have a provision for editing/deleting one's errors. <br /> <br />As you put it, rr company A RECEIVES per diem from other rr's using A's cars, and likewise company A would owe/pay per diem to those companies whose cars were occupying A's tracks. <br /> <br />Even if I had that backwards, though, the comment about offsetting per diem payments is still accurate, and I think we both agree as to the meaning of demurrage and that it has nothing to do with per diem or offsets thereof. <br /> <br />Thanx again for yr clarification. jwm
