Can anyone explain the principle behind the old DRG&W's "Short, Fast and Frequent" Concept?? I know that there was ancient TRAINS mag article on the the operating concept over twenty years ago but I have trouble locating it. What I remember about it is that the T&E crews loved it because they met their road requirements faster as well as the customers. and also that it enabled Rio Grande to effectively compete with the UP and to a certain extent the Santa Fe. To all you opwerating types out there can this be used effectively today in the post Staggers Era?? Can this concept help increase the market viability of carload freight for hiher value merchandise in the intermodal age???
