[QUOTE="White Line, post: 1281056, member: 52233"] Yeah trains that may eventually go away, when I started with these guys 10 years ago there were a total of 9 triples runs that ran out of our terminal, 10 years later we have a facility that's double the size and double the volume, yet we have only added 1 more solo triples run and 1 team triples run, and they are currently experimenting with a additional solo triples run that was created just this last peak but so far they have been able to keep it going even after peak which is good and all, but between the volume coming out of our building, and the addition of the new Smartpost facility in our area (Ground handles Smartpost linehaul as well) we could probably have upwards of 18 to maybe 20 of these runs out of our building, but no the powers that be believe that running teams and speeding up the network are the way to go, yes lets speed up the network and have unsafe teams dumping over sets between Reno and Salt Lake brilliant idea, if you haven't noticed already I have a bias towards team operations, because for what ever reason they can't seem to go from Salt Lake to Chicago without rolling the set over in the process, but by god we are speeding up the linehaul network.
