The truth is that this company doesn’t want to haul any extra freight, all they want to do is haul a smaller amount at a smaller expense. There’s no one out trying to get more business.
All this company wants is to do haul double trains with one crew. Money is made at a lower expense.
I remember when the Operating Ratios were in the middle 70s. Everyone was making money. Employees were happy. Management and stockholders were thrilled. Freight was rolling, trains were back to back.
Now it’s whatever we can get for the smallest expense for the greatest profit.
This attitude will grind to a halt sooner or later. It takes money to make money..
