I just know that their scheduling is terrible. Even for on time, whatever metric they are using internally to track it is not positive as far as we are concerned.
But its one of those things where everyone says 'oh its rail.' Trucking companies don't get the same pass.

As a customer I agree but from their perspective the scheduling is just fine, I would guess your single car velocity is probably in line with whatever their metric is. Their goal is to spin as many cars as possible with as little power as possible. The railroads suck because everyone of their customers is captive. More employees won't solve anything scheduling wise without other large scale infrastructure investments that they have very little incentive to do.
