File this away under "half baked" curiousity, but today I was watching an east bound freight on the former Wabash, headed by a trio of Union Pacific power. Pulling Dupont covered hoppers, coil steel, and empty auto racks, it was pretty easy to figure this one was headed to Detroit. Of course, there is no way of knowing if the head end power was leased, loaned, "swapped" or whatever, but it got me to thinking about "run through", and whether or not originating railroads customarily make any "overhead + profit" when providing run through power? If they did, then doing so might be seen as a way for one railroad to "sap" the revenue stream of another, getting at least some cashflow out of the related haul, in the borrowing railroads own territory. Just curious.
