 TW> I understsnd the situation is so desperate that they even requested 
 TW> permission to send some 60,000 Containers through the Panama Canal on
 TW> a ships to aleviate the situation.  But were turned down.
 PK> Who is the "they" that requested "permission" and who turned
 PK> "them" down?
 PK> My experience is if you put enough cash on the barrelhead,
 PK> SeaLand and others will pick up and deliver at the "multi-modal"
 PK> terminal tommorrow morning (their Oakland, CA terminal is served
 PK> by the UP, in fact).
 PK> Of course SeaLand developed the "land bridge" with UP and
 PK> ConRail to cut down coast-to-coast container time.
        As I am sure you know, no permission at all was required
and UP had the plan completely ready to go when they announced it.
        The shippers screamed loudly, and U.P. abandoned the plan
quickly.
