[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by jp1822: Amtrak is doing this because they think they will achieve various cost reductions. I'd love for that to be quantified on what is known as a "fully loaded" cost basis....[/QUOTE]One must wonder if Amtrak's Responsibility Accounting system is so arbitrary and archaic that a train's ResLoc (Amtrakese: Responsibility Location) is charged some arbitrary amount for each car assigned to the consist. Therefore a manager has the incentive to rid the consist of ostensibly unneeded cars. All of the "Final Four" (the major accounting firms; EY, KPMG, Deloitte, PWC) have surely told their clients "we can give you a responsibility accounting system that will manage revenue and costs so you know who is generating the profit". Gotta tell you: HAHAHAHA - LOL. [/QB][/QUOTE]
