[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by beaulieu One other factor is that ship schedules are less reliable than Railroad schedules. I presume that the shippers wait until they know the ship is in port in LA and then ship their produce to Tacoma to meet the ship. Which means that they won't be shipping on any kind of regular schedule, but will give the railroad a short notification of their need and then expect the railroad to have a train ready. [/quote] I have to disagree with that premise, because there is more than enough wiggle room in the proposed cycle window to compensate, and variances in coastwise shipping schedules would more affect inbound ETA's to Tacoma and Seattle rather than outbound departure times from Puget Sound.
