[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 860158, member: 13921"] If it is the BNSF contracting the work, it is probably a Missouri River bridge. UPS is the largest customer for BNSF, I think they are also UP's largest customer. I know that if there is a derailment, the railroads hire contractors to pull the trailers. It is evidently cheaper for them to hire contractors than to pay off on a service failure. UPS banks on those trains running to meet service, it would not surprise me that they have service guarantees with the railroads to pull the trailers if the trains cannot run. [/QUOTE]
