There is a particular stretch of route close to where I live that is owned by KCS. It stretches from Kansas City then south, along the Missouri-Kansas border, through Joplin, Mo, and then into Arkansas.
I routinly see KCS, CSX, BNSF, and UP power along this route near my home. Sometimes alone or in a mix of the same consist. According to the Missouri Dept of Transportation only KCS has trackage rights to this route in Missouri.
Can someone please explain the railroad industry's business model that explains this?
Thanks...
