But there was another. This was the system of making the haul as long as possible. Any one who is familiar with the exposures which resulted in the formation of the Interstate Commerce Commission knows what is meant by this. There was a period when rail transport was not regarded as the servant of the traveling, manufacturing, and commercial publics. Business was treated as if it existed for the benefit of the railways. During this period of folly, it was not good railroading to get goods from their shipping point to their destination by the most direct line possible, but to keep them on the road as long as possible, send them around the longest way, give as many connecting lines as possible a piece of the profit, and let the public stand the resulting loss of time and money. That was once counted good railroading. It has not entirely passed out of practice to-day.

白话
福特还指出另一个老毛病：把运输路线尽量拉长。熟悉州际商务委员会成立背景的人都知道这是什么意思。曾经有一段时期，铁路运输不被看作旅行、制造和商业公众的仆人，反而把商业当成是为铁路利益而存在的。在那段荒唐时期，好的铁路经营不是把货物用最直接的线路从发货点送到目的地，而是让货物在路上待得越久越好，绕最长的路，让尽可能多的连接线路分到利润，让公众承担时间和金钱的损失。这曾经被算作“好铁路经营”，今天也没有完全绝迹。

你的流程里有没有为了多分利、多走环节而故意绕远路的做法？
