[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by beaulieu ....the agreement prohibits the movement of export grain via Aberdeen to the PNW, [/quote] That sounds kind of fishy. Doesn't federal statute prohibit restrictions to interstate commerce? DM&E currently sends it's PNW-bound grain trains via BNSF, is this now going to end? [quote]QUOTE: and only Dakota Shortline, Dakota Southern, and D&I get access to other railroads at Sioux City. [/quote] What are the "other" railroads at Sioux City? UP? KCS? CN? [quote]QUOTE: DM&E, Dakota Southern, and Dakota Shortline can access the DMV&W, and hence CP, at Aberdeen. [/quote] But not for export grain? Wasn't the stand taken by the State intended to avoid the whole "Montana problem" regarding captive grain shipping rates to the Pacific Rim? [quote]QUOTE: DM&E cannot interchange Coal?, Intermodal?, or export grain via CP-UP. [/quote] If this is true, and the feds uphold this deal, the State of South Dakota messed up big time. Welcome to Montana's world, South Dakota!
