We are already moving grain in ISO's and dry vans from Montana and the Dakotas to the Port of Lewiston ID. They run them as a backhaul, and it takes less than five minutes to dump them out with a hydralic trailer lifter. Since it is a backhaul, the rates compare favorably to the unit rail rates out of Montana to the Pacific Coast. <br /> <br />Yes, there is some problem with grain getting in under the plywood sidings and expanding, thus compromising the structural integrity of the container or trailer, but that is a rare occurance. <br /> <br />The point is, there are all these empty ISO's sitting in intermodal yards since it is cheaper for China to just manufacture more than it is to send back the empties. Why not utilize these empties by backhauling them with grain to the Rim. The RailRunner technology fits this situation perfectly.
