 | | IC operates approximately 3,370 route miles running north-south between Chicago, in the north, and the Gulf of Mexico, in the south, and west-east between Sioux City, IA, and Omaha, NE/Council Bluffs, IA, in the west, and Chicago, in the east. |
 | | DOT has argued that the existence of the agreement may decrease the incentive of IC and KCS to build in to reach shipper facilities that are exclusively served by the other carrier on the important corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, where KCS and IC maintain parallel routes. |
 | | Even if KCS and IC were not prepared to build in to provide service now exclusively provided by the other, the shipper could still build out to reach the other carrier, which would be required to provide service, and presumably would be happy to do so. |
