Sayeth TimZ: <br /> <br />"Compare two railroads-- they run the same size trains with the same engines, same everything else, same speed, same operating costs per train-hour or train-mile or ton-mile. So, same GTM/train-hour. But one railroad is one division, 100 miles and the other is two divisions, 200 miles. Operating costs of the longer railroad will be twice as great (close enough) so GTM/train-hr/$ will be half as great." <br /> <br />Class, did anyone find the fatal flaw in Timzie's above proposition? Show of hands, now . . . <br /> <br />Old Timer
