[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by rrandb [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Safety Valve There was a comment regarding 4 truck loads in each rail car. Alot of the work is LCL. So a Diner in Jersey might ask for 4 pallets of Apples for the week. (Apple Pies, apple sauce, apple salad etc... mmmmm) 2000 pounds per pallet (Not actual weight but sometimes lighter or heavier) 8,000 pounds will fit in about 8 feet worth of a Reefer Rail Car's or truck deck. You probably have another oh... 40-45 more feet worth of deck to load for any number of Jersey customers. [/quote] This will be dedicated unit trains from dedicated perishable terminal to terminal. LCL should not be an issue. At 4 truckloads per car times 55 cars we should see many reefer vans available to haul those LCL which are illsuited to rail traffic.[2c] [/quote] Well, when that train pulls into Albany with's cornicopia (Spelling) the food is probably going to end up being broken down into alot of different orders as required. With saying 4 trucks to take away one Reefer load and 55 Reefers to unload ye are going to need around 200 trucks ready or more to fill your orders the day you unload that train. Or am I spinning myself out on your operation in Albany?
