How would "open access" handle something like when train operater A gets the bid to run down the track at 8 o'clock so operater B settles for an earlier departure at 7. Train B breaks down out on the mainline for several hours, train A who is your major compeditor can't get around you. Boats and trucks can easily just drive or sail around (usualy), but a train can't. Wouln't this type of thing be a major problem in a highly compedative environment? Or what if train B runs at a slower more ecconomical speed then track speed? <br /> <br />At least the way things are right now it would be CSX own fault for delaying another CSX train on a CSX line.
