One other point of clarification: The rail operations benefits due to an L-M rail link would accrue mostly to those BNSF lines along and south of the I-90/I-94 corridor. Most of the grain producing areas of the Upper Midwest are in this region. High Line grain traffic rerouted to the L-M rail link would be dependent on congestion on this line west of Havre, and if BNSF managers determine that more higher margin intermodal could be had with lesser risk of time delays due to other traffic, they would have to seriously consider this alternate routing. The income potential of the garuanteed delivery times minus the risk of not making those times and having to pay back the premiums could be crucial. <br /> <br />Junctionfan, what was your idea? If it has to do with Eastern Canadian railroading, that is something I am not familiar with. Are there any missing rail links that could ascribe to an open access policy?
