Re: (erielack) NYSW Stack trains

Remember that under the STB agreement, contracts could remain in place for 
six months and anything goes thereafter, which in this business (intermodal) 
usually means lower prices. HJCL is one of the bottom feeders in the 
business.I understand from one of my cohorts in the business that the Hanjin 
contract was up anyway. NS has had a close relationship with Hanjin for a 
number of years, (big CY in their Landers yard),but with these two guys (CSX 
and NS) fighting over the same traffic anything could happen. The current 
Hanjin routing into NJ is NS to Buffalo, CP\D&H to Binghamton (the origin of 
this is from the time when Walter Rich was the designated operator of the D&H 
during its bankruptcy post-Guilford), and NYS&W haulage\trackage rights to 
Warwick.
Some of the big contracts did not stay the six month course; witness CSX 
getting the whole magilla with APL. (They were already moving most of the APL 
North Jersey business into APINY already)
