A case in point: Montana Rail Link, who is dependent on BNSF to supply the revenue overhead. A while back MRL had the ambition of adding to it's system aka UP's Pocatello-Butte line, BN's Spokane to Lewiston line, et al. Then BN significantly reduced the number of trains it sent over MRL. "Bad MRL, no biscuit!" <br /> <br />MRL has behaved a lot better since!
