CN determined that RCL were not worth the money saved as productivity was decreased which in turn increased cost and decreased locomotive utilization. The data provided that shows RCL operations as "being safer" are calculated using new math. The operating rules are different with RCL use. If the same rules were implemented with non-RCL, perhaps the operation would be even safer than RCL. The Railroads should invest their time and money into bringing their service up to acceptable standards, not slowing things down further in attempt to save a couple bucks on labor.. The performance of the Railroads is quite pathetic, which is why the trucking industry (the most expensive means of transportation) has almost all of the business. What good is it to be penny wise and dollar foolish? If the Railroads are only concerned about labor cost, I have a solution that will bring the cost of labor to zero. Shut down the operation completely. No more labor costs or headaches and no more customer complaints either.
