FWIW, I spoke with a fellow N-scaler at the Decatur show a few weeks ago
who also happens to be the traffic manager for ADM, and he said that ADM
is indeed enjoying the lull in prices. He's always interesting to talk
to as he gives a large customer's perspective on the railroad's service.
In the past he has always given NS high marks above almost all of the
others, but he said this year that they're all now just about the same-
slow! He also has always said that the IC is probably the worst when it
comes to service.
