Eastern Railroad Discussion > How can anyone be shocked at this?Date: 11/17/19 08:05 How can anyone be shocked at this? Author: TAW Date: 11/17/19 15:44 Re: How can anyone be shocked at this? Author: Rathole I am completely convinced that the big railroads absolutely do not want new business. They want a fixed amount of business so they can have a fixed number of engines and employees. They are no longer wanting to grow, and I believe the removal and/or downsizing of yards both big and small back up my line of thinking on this. I remember overhearing a trainmaster's conversaion on the phone with someone a few years ago. He seemed a little agitated, so I asked him what was going on. His reply, so help me God, was, "The (expletive) traffic department is out there trying to drum up business on a branch line we're trying to get rid of."
