BNSF on way to epic meltdown?

I can tell you that BNSF operates in mysterious ways

today. They have the "kill approach" for any train

that the BNSF Brainpower deems necessary. Amtrak

gets screwed on a regular basis. Just about every

long distance Amtrak train has no chance arriving

within 4-8hrs of timetable time. Its a constant

process of trains die. Crew shuttles everywhere

all the time. Since I dont spend pennies a day on

this website maybe some of you do and can read

the posts past page one. This whole approach to

railroading seems "far-fetched" but I'm far removed

from getting a paycheck from the BNSF. Whats going

on now is what I wont miss.

He has his left eye on the situation and a reverser in his back pocket.

The same website had a thread going on about this clog of traffic in
Montana on the BNSF and MRL. Hauser Idaho is the new "choke-point"
for traffic going through Spokane. Spokane is one busy railroad town.
While it seems a mess, whenever a terminal can hold a train "out of
terminal" then there is a lot less to pay...like terminal time which is the
focal point of a railroad is how long shit sits before it gets moving again.
Not sure when I noticed this new BNSF and killing trains "progress" to
suit their situation become so obvious.

I dont know where to get railroad news as it happens but good
old Drain Orders. I'm glad the site is going strong because
it gets many "tweets" every day from "some in the know"
and I've been following this BNSF meltdown story the last
few weeks. Not quite the UP-SP merger meltdown but a
reaction to a "super-spike" in railroad traffic that they
arent/werent prepared for. Coal and Oil and Grain traffic
all going "off the scale". BNSF will adapt/adjust but not
anytime soon. Then add this derailment at Essex to everything.
