I have read the SMART report including construction without NWP operation. While they may have had talks about with NWP Co. subsequent to the signed operating agreement which states SMART must pay NWP for loss of revenue and alternate shipping costs, the savings may be a wash. Unless they modify the agreement, It probably won't happen. NCRA has fought an uphill battle to get freight service restored, and in my opinion, are not going to through in the towel that easy since SMART has been a royal pain in the ass at this point. The amount of new business may play a key role in the new negotiations.
