I was just reading an article on LCL service when years ago, the RRs had freight stations in the towns where you could drop off packages and local deliveries were made to stores. Let me ask this... in towns (let's say Phillipsburg, NJ) where there is still a team track, what would happen if a group of store owners wanted rail service for LCL packages. Would NS 1) gladly say sure we'll do it or 2) tell them sorry buzz off.
Was it the RRs themselves who discontinued LCL service? I know several trucking companies who do LCL. They stuff the back of a trailer with hundreds of small parcels then zig zag all over the country dropping them off.
