dehusman - I consider the maintenance problems of the Orin line as endemic of capacity constraints. Even if BNSF has fixed the line by now, they are still projected to only provide 80% of the coal orders for the rest of the year, according to the story. <br /> <br />You could have one centrally located facility processing logs for/from each mine, so that specific blends can be maintained. If the mineheads are located close enough to the log processing facility, then such short transportation shouldn't be a problem. <br /> <br />Don't get me wrong on this. I would prefer more rail capacity to slurry or log pipelines. But the reality is the closed access rail system does not allow for rail capacity to be built for future demand, rather it is built incrementally (and reluctantly, if at all) as demand exceeds supply, so there is a constant congestion problem built into the system.
