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

Who is this "evil BNSF" to which you refer? The BNSF I am refering to is an amoral corporation that seems predicated on empowering the importation of overseas goods into the US while conversely making it more and more costly for US producers to get their goods to port. <br /> <br />I ask this in all honesty: Do you, Mac, have an explanation for why WATCO's PCC is only implementing the $870 surcharge on the ex-BN line shippers, and not on the ex-UP line shippers? Keep in mind that both the ex-UP and ex-BN lines of the PCC Palouse service area are now owned and maintained by the taxpayers of the State of Washington, not WATCO nor the former Class I owners. Wouldn't you think a reduction in WATCO's costs for maintaining fixed assets would result in a subsequent reduction in online rates, not a massive per car surcharge?
