WATCO abandoning service on Washington State owned lines! (read: BNSF does it again!)

It sounds as if Ritzville Warehouse and Odessa Union Warehouse are probably trucking grain from their elevators at Odessa, Edwall, Ritzville (assuming these are the older elevators closer to downtown than the new shuttle facility), Sprague, Warden, Irby, Davenport, Downs, Ephrata, Harrington, Lamona, Mohler, and Rocklyn to the shuttle facility near Ritzville. The question then is if they do so because the combination truck / shuttle rate is such that it beats direct carload and carset rates from those other elevators located on active BNSF and BNSF-served railroads, or (as I presume) that BNSF simply won't quote a rate from those other elevators, basically forcing them to truck the grain to the shuttle facility? <br />
