As you may know, Utah Railway acts as a partner to BNSF, generating local traffic for them in the Salt Lake Valley. Utah Railway goes after traffic for BNSF on a competitive basis with UP over their (UP) trackage. That is the arrangement between Utah Railway and BNSF for general trafffic.
What I'm wondering about is the relationship between Utah Railway's coal traffic and BNSF. Does BNSF get a cut of it? It doesn't appear to be so here in the Salt Lake valley, but I was wondering if such obained for easbound Utah Railway coal.
