I was thinking of a long haul, east. Roseburg in Weed used to ship to Roseburg, via rail. When CORP messed things up, the cars would go to BB, K Falls, Eugene, back down the Siskiyou Line to Roseburg. A 12 to 24 hour spot time turned into 3 to 6 days.
My opinion is CORP helped put the YW out of business. They took all the gravy off the top and didn't put anything back into the line. They even tried to pull out all the ABS from Ashland to Springfield and but we got that stopped. I was at the Coos Bay hearing years ago and testified againist CORP.
In the middle of the hearing, one of the STB members asked the CORP attorney (no operating people said peep), "Why is it that everyone hates your company??" No answer.
