> Anti-trust made it pretty clear you can't be the railroad company and the oil company that uses the railroad to harm competition.

Your analogy is flawed.

This is a private railroad company, who built their own private national railroad system, saying that if you want to use their railroads, you have to use their infrastruture (signals, switching, yards, etc.) and to do that, you have to pay a per-trip fee.

Your argument really is, “How is it legal that I am not allowed to use their private railroad track system unless I also use their switches/signals/yards/etc. that carry fees?”
