Then why doesn't UP run a dedicated piggyback shuttle train between Vegas and L.A., like what DRGW did for a while between Denver and Salt Lake City, CP did for a while between Toronto and Montreal and SP did for a while between City of Industry and Phoenix?

Do you want to know why? Because there's no money in it. Inter-modal doesn't make any money on short hauls.
