I concur with the view that the BNSF is more straight forward to deal with. As a public servant and a former employee of one of the "fallen flags", I have also found that BNSF has a more scientific approach to analysis of things like capacity utilization, whereas UP has a more "seat of the pants" approach, "leaving all options open" akin to my former line. Therefore, it is my impression that when you strike a deal with BNSF they are more responsive and responsible for meeting their commitments.
