I'm glad the complaints were filed and that NS has to answer for it. Morrison Foerster lawyers cost probably $1200/hr apiece. That doc is about 100 pages. NS paid dearly to have that thing made. They are paying heavily for this. Good. Maybe they'll take notice.

Nah, they just write if off as " cost of doing business" and we pick up the slack on April 15th!!
Shakespeare was right: " ..first we kill all the lawyers.."

NS fires back in two STB filings, including the gem "Norfolk Southern's freight arteries are not Amtrak's private playground".

A**holes.

NS can't run a railroad. Seize 'em the way Woodrow Wilson did. No mercy. The Chicago-NY rail corridor is a national security asset, part of STRACNET. and the **** coming out of Moorman's office should be treated accordingly.

The STB probably won't do this because the federal government is largely nonfunctional, but that's what a real government would do.

Hopefully the STB will respond by finding NS's arguments to be frivolous and without merit and will sanction them for filing frivolous arguments. But I'm not hopeful.
Having functional railroad dispatching is a national security matter. Amtrak is merely the canary in the coal mine.

For the most part the Cap and Lake Shore are still doing pretty well. The cold weather took it's toll but recently on time performance has definitely improved.
