Electrification is definitely on the table with the people who want to stay in business for longer than the next quarterly dividend? I am involved with at least one major infrastructure finance company that has done this around the world, and it is extremely interested and actively pursuing opportunities in the US. It is not cheap, but a lot less than the capitalized value of the BNSF railroad (you might want to learn the difference between "book value" and "capital" value?). The cost will be competitive, if we are able to amortize over the actual life cycle, and diesel prices continue in the future to significantly exceed inflation, as they have now for the past five years.
