[quote user="charlie hebdo"]Some statistics are more telling for short-term, some for longer. For railroads, the OR has always been considered a good indication of efficiency, except when it contradicts the narrative some folks want to push. [/quote] You are right about the OR being an efficiency indicator, but nothing more. And I think most here see it that way. OR is not the only indicator for the success of a railroad. You can generate more profit with a higher OR. EHH had lower OR and higher profit at CP because of cost cutting and higher rates but not higher transport volume.  I think this is quite short sighted and not sustainable. Regards, Volker
