With the brush you have painted them with i would be very supprised if they stay in business much longer. The managment has them in such a fatal tailspin they will soon be gone. [2c] as always ENJOY <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Let's put it this way: Asian importers are <b>extremely pleased </b>with the level of service BNSF provides <i>to them</i>. <br /> <br />They're not going to let <i>their</i> American cash cow go under! <br />[/quote] And why would the asian importers even use BNSF ports if the UP service is twice as fast. ITS NOT!!! I've listened to many arguements and speculation that BNSF has shown a patter of behavior thar deserves BAD press for trying to run a railroad and turn a profit. This debate will be decided by wall street based on the price & divideds of there stock. Rest assured if what you believe is true about BNSF you will be vindicated by there return on investment. While i belive BNSF is not #1 on stock value they have made good inroads since there last merger. If they are incompitent they will be just another fallen flag. Hopefully it will not be more initials and another reycled paint scheme. "rail-bashing" hmmmm if walks like a duck and sounds like a .........[soapbox] as always ENJOY [8D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You're a bit confused. The UP service from Central Washington to Puget Sound is for <i>export</i> commodities, whether it is twice as fast as BNSF's reluctant proposal for Quincy shippers is irrelevant to Asian <i>imports</i> to the US. Check BNSF's PR newswire contributions over the months. Lots about improving service for Chinese imports, while at the same time BNSF institutes surcharges on coal and ag (read: domestic) shipments. Yep, that's some red, white, and blue company we have here! <br /> <br />And the "tell" won't come from Wall Street, it will come from Pennsylvania Avenue. The spector of re-regulation will continue to hang over the rail industry as long as US voters keep getting screwed to the benefit of Asian *voters*.
