I thoughly enjoyed Fred Frailely's article in Oct. 2004 issue of TRAINS about the BNSF Transcon. Besides closing the double track gap and super terminals like Willow Springs that can turn a complete trainset within two hours. <br /> <br />I was struck by the notion that BNSF has built an intermodal franchise that will will attract customers on its own to the point that the RR could pick and choose with whom it does business with. He said that they are other potential "market power" corridors out there like NS's Harrisburg to Chicago and Atlanta to Cailf. w/BNSF and KCS. But CSX's ( ex New York Central/B&O) New Jersey/New England could be market power corridor but vast underinvestment in recent years prevent it from being so. <br /> <br />Do you agree?? <br /> <br />And what are other potential "Market Power" corridors in North America?? <br /> <br />ANd also what do you think about CSX's New York City area to Florida "I95 Corridor" becoming a true "market power" traffic lane be it for intermodal, bimodal or carload?? <br /> <br /> <br />
