In the early 60's there was a Chicago television program entitled, "Does Transportation Cost Too Much?", which featured a panel discussion that included a railroad president, the VP of Quaker Oats, and the NY Herald Tribune business editor. (Source: trade magazine from 1963.) <br /> <br />"Transportation costs too much" was a complaint of rail shippers in the 1960's; it was a complaint of rail shippers 100 years ago; and It is a complaint of rail shippers today. <br /> <br />No doubt as long as there are railroads, it will be the perennial complaint of the rail customer.
