Trackage rights means they have to use their crew and their power. They would never get power from the BN on a trackage rights deal unless there was a failure of some sort. <br /> <br />The BNSF sends their power over to the NS on trains. What is owed in return is figured by horsepower hours. If the NS has a 2000 HP engine for one hour they owe 2000 HP hours. If they send over a 4000 hp locomotive the debt is paid back in 1/2 hour. <br /> <br />Oakway had an interesting way of leasing their power. They kept track of the amount of electricity produced and charged by the kilowatt Hour.
