[quote user="beaulieu"]A couple of questions, are there any type of container cranes located there?  [/quote]I believe the Port of Quincy owns there own top lifts.[quote] Second question have the shippers contacted the shipping lines rather than BNSF (i.e. Maersk, Cosco, Evergreen, etc.)? Wenatchee would have been a much better location due to the need to change crews at Wenatchee, it would probably cost a crew to stop the train at Quincy ( 1 crew Hauser, ID to Quincy, then a second crew Quincy to Wenatchee).[/quote]It seems that it wouldn't be that big of a deal to use Quincy as the crew change point for this particular operation, unless there is a union objection.  It can't be more than an hour's time difference between the two towns.The problem with using Wenatchee for this operation is that it doesn't really have a lot of industrial space available for large scale intermodal terminal operations since it is located down in the Columbia River canyon.  Quincy on the contrary has plenty of flat space available for any projected growth.It is also my understanding that the shippers out of Wenatchee did all their business through the 3pi (Columbia Rail Intermodal) as the point of contact rather than the shipping lines or the railroad.  In fact, as hard as it is to do direct business with the railroad, they'd be the last option for contact.
