Man, all this talk about grain makes me want a couple more bowls of corn flakes! [:D] Let me get this straight: You want me to haul your 29 privately owned( and payed for by taxpayers money) grain hoppers all over the country and bring them back to you as a unit? SURE! All of them can't possibly be going to the same destination, by any chance, would they? Ooops! Theres 29 more brightly colored cars in the nation's pool. [:I] Hey, heres some of our very own cars till we find yours. [;)] Oh and by the way, if I were in Watcos shoes I would rather take the 27 million in taxpayers money and the money for the scrap rails etc, rather than continue a lossing battle with the trucks, the "Evil Loading Facility", and further losses from contractual obligations that may already exsist or may develop from any sale of the line to the state. Not really rocket science, there.[:I] In the midwest, it was a very surprising season considering the drought. It's quite possible that BNSF just doesn't have that many cars to spare, if that really is the case. I saw a comment somewhere about grain cars just sitting around here in the Heartland. Is it possible they are full of grain waiting for transit or awaiting the call for a refill? This part of railroading is almost as intriuging to me as the coal aspect. Besides, coal most likely tastes horrible. Nor can you run a car on it, that I know of.
