If That train ran with 50 units per day it would not be shut down. Even if it were to have that number, the overhead cost's to move those trailers such a short distance would take away any profit. Railroads get paid by the mile, they recieve break even pay (if that) to load and unload those trailers. Factor in liability expences, you are talking about a money losing operation. I believe it was a smart move made by C.N. Lets not forget, railroads are not in business to please the taxpayer's or railfans. They are in business to please there stockholders and customers.(In that order.) <br /> TIM A
