No scrap dealer has ever lost a multi-generation place of residence due to the financial cosntraints of being captive to a single Class I railraod. <br /> <br />You can locate a scrapping operation just about anywhere, and the capital costs to do so are pretty low. Secondly, shipping scrap by rail is mostly done with single carload rates, and if those rates get too high, it is alot easier to shift the transportation of scrap to truck than grain. <br /> <br />But of course we understand that you were attempting to make a joke.......
