[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Limitedclear [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by farmer03 Yea, you're forgetting they are planning on bring the corn in by rail also. So there will be more than the half dozen tank cars daily. I would assume the loop would be to unload a trainload of corn...? [/quote] As the article refers to unit trains of corn blocking crossings I would assume corn in ethanol and probably corn husks/debris out for animal feed. LC [/quote] I missed that part of the article, my bad. I just thought I'd throw that out there since the bulk of the conversation has been about only the outgoing ethanol in the tank cars and not the grain coming in. There are 3 different ethanol plants going up in my area. One east of Princeton on the BNSF, one in Hennepin on the Iowa Interstate and near Mineral on the IAIS also. There was a fourth proposed in Henry, which is downriver from Hennepin but that was thrown out because of the "impact" it would've had on the recreational boater traffic on the river and the air quality. While I'm sure it's not the highest paying job around, but leave it to this area to put some boaters above some new jobs.
