Yet another $20,000 barrier to using rail service for small to modest size customers. Since the trucking industry and the unions are the big backers of this, they ought to be happy. Last UP maintainer I talked to said the system was pretty unreliable, particularly in conjested areas--so many little blips, so small an area--but the FRA said to push on anyway, no matter the cost to the carriers. Hope it improves into a usable system with time.
