Something I don't understand about capacity

One other thing that strikes me as profound: The average time cycle for a grain barge from Lewiston to Portland and back is about one week. The average time cycle for a grain hopper from Lewiston to Portland and back is two weeks. This means that even if the railroads match the ton/mile price for shipping grain, the barge lines are still getting twice the annual revenues. This is significant when it comes to bean counting time!
