Thanks for the info on the ICE -
So the ICE went away because CSX made [the effort] a waste for BNSF?
Anybody have any insight onto how the BNSF felt about its success (independent of its eastern handling)? In other words, how did the "value" of the train compare to the capacity and other costs it took to run?
Incidentally, I think the train mostly ran on the Raton side, don't know how that plays on the capacity angle.
Of course UP is running a unit reefer train now - has to be a lot more dense than a chain of road legal trailers.
