I just said the crew cares. But not all that much, especially on an extended (E), and if the Liberty Line were to be extended to the north on Supthin, (as is the LION's plan) then a one-way run is quite fezible since you will return to within a few stops of where you started anyway.

But more than the length of the run, the crew cares about MONEY (as well it should) and work rules. A longer more reliable layover at each end would do much to mitigate the longer run.

The LION thinks that all crews should have by contract a MINIMUM of a 20 minute turn around at the distal end of their run (make that 30 minutes for runs greater than 60 minutes) and a 30 minute turn around at the home end of the run, and should by contract have a 60 minute lunch break in the middle of their hours of service.

I am certain that THESE THINGS would be far more important to a crew than how long any particular run it. Or maybe they are unaware of how long runs are out here on the BNSF.
