Last year, Wal-Mart built a large distribution center in St. James Missouri. The site, over a hundred acres, was built on the North side of Interstate 44, inaccessable to a BNSF mainline less than a mile away on the south side of the highway. There was enough land on both sides of the highway to biuld it, but Wal-Mart chose not to serve the railroad, claiming that they wanted to ship completely by trucks. BNSF had a shipping contract with Wal-mart a few years ago. What happened?
