When trains were expensive an employees were cheap, it made sense to run shorter, more frequent trains and employ the hostlers and yard workers to vary trainset length over the course of a day.Today its cheaper to buy more railcars and leave them in fixed sets, even if those cars run more miles as a result, than to pay the costs of dynamic set management and more frequent service. |
