"West Colton does heavy repair, engine and main gen change outs frequently"

Didn't work out so well for South Morrill...

Yes. Let’s discuss who among us should be laid off. Ahole. Both of them exist because they’re valuable to any group of people that cares about running a long-term successful railroad. As these people only care about short term profits, shareholder primacy, and algorithm manipulation. “Discuss” which one has to go? F that! Don’t pit one location against the other...it serves no good, and there’s no telling what these activist investor locusts are going to do.

Colton is the gateway east for all the Asian container that comes through the Long Beach/Los Angeles ports. The two-port are one and two in container traffic for the US.

It's not like they are side by side. One is the gateway to North, the other is the gateway to EVERYTHING in the Southwest.

Well they are building a double hump in Colton, so not sure if that is significant.

Roseville has better productivity. It also allows trains to be inspected prior to the pull through

the Sierras.

That’s tough. I mean the higher ups will ultimately decide. Which place is busier? Which place has better dwell? Productivity? I’m sure it could go either way. May the best men and woman win.
