BNSF is Warren Buffett’s railroad. I doubt that he engaged in price fixing.

Railroads are not the same as public highways, UP would have to lease track from BNSF if the customer doesn’t have track connecting to a UP owned track, that is, assuming that their business in territory only serviced by BNSF track. That would swamp any rate discount. I highly doubt UP would pass up the business if they thought it would be economically feasible for them and the customer.

Union Pacific has refused to ship coal from its Oxbow’s Elk Creek Mine in western Colorado to avoid competing with BNSF.Sounds like they are confusing The Octopus with The Oxbow Incident.
