[QUOTE]Originally posted by PullmanCo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by amtraxmaniac: And Pullman, yes unfortunately money talks and that's why the government should get involved. That's when government should say 'ok, we are offering you fair compensation to add capacity to your railroad.[/QUOTE]Usual disclaimer applies. To me, fair compensation is offering the railroads the same rate they would get to pull a hotshot COFC/TOFC freight running priority on the line. UPS, COSCO, and others pay pretty dearly for their time on BNSF and UP lines. Amtrak doesn't pay near what the shippers are paying. Money talks. Again, usual disclaimer applies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
