“The Staggers Act wasn’t, ‘Railroads, haul only what you want to haul on your network.’ It’s ‘Haul everything, and you have the ability and the flexibility to differentially price on your network.’ That’s the deal, and it’s in the public’s best interest to move more tons to the railroad network, not to move tons off the railroad network.”
