Brian Schmidtkills Howard Street Tunnel clearance project in Baltimore
As you know, I'm from out of town as it were, so forgive me if I don't get the terminology right.
Does EHH think he can earn more from intermodal by hauling international containers that were offloaded on the west coast, and turned over to CSX by the western carriers for forwarding to eastern US markets, than by hauling these same containers from the Port of Baltimore to their destinations in the east.
Is this a manifestation of a low opinion he may hold about the "new & improved" Panama Canal?
I have no answers, just curiosity.

I'm an outsider however even I can see that the BOD is going to have cause to remove EHH pretty soon for cause. The reason failure to improve the shareholder value. CSX IM customers are going to royally pissed off and I can think of 3 that used the North Baltimore in Ohio for a hub for their Operations. Fed Ex Schiender and JB Hunt all had massive terminals in that area. Guess what you happens when you make them mad they just might jerk their stuff back off the rails. Now we have the crap in Baltimore with the Howard Street Tunnel. This guy is either brain damaged or incompetent to run a company. I frankly would not trust him to even be a janitor at my bosses company.
Chess would be a lot easier to play if there weren't as many pieces on the board. That seems to be EHH's philosophy for the railroad...
