[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by greyhounds</i> <br /> <br />The MILW as a corporate entity, and the PCE as a rail line, had absolutely no future. <br />The reasonable, skillful, managers saw this - and they "cashed out". <br /> <br />Not sure where he gets the idea that the MILW had more capacity than the BNSF does today, but one thing's for sure: You don't get paid for your capacity, you get paid for the freight you haul. And the old MILW didn't have enough of that, and it never would have enouth freight with the BN to the North and the UP to the South. It was the 3rd railroad into the Pacific Northwest, and 3rd place doesn't pay well. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's what I like about you greyhounds, you'll fly lock stock and barrel into the face of reason and insider information. And continue to procur statements that indicate a lack of perusing skills on your part. <br /> <br />History is ripe with examples of superior entities being brought down by managerial fiascos, the Milwaukee being one of them. Why is this so hard for you to grasp?
