I saw my first 100 car unit grain train. Being new to the hobby it was quite surprising to see. It was a UP with 4 locomotives loaded with 100 hopper cars loaded with corn that came from a grain elevator in Evansville, WI. Anyways I have a question about this. I've heard that RR will give a grain elevator a discount for 100 car loads shipped at once (If Im mistaken please correct me) but I was was wondering, how much of a discount is it? Also is it based per ton or per bushel or something else? And one more question. When a RR is hauling 100 cars full of grain, does that mean that all these 100 cars will go to the same destination or will they be branched off along the way, say 10 will go here, 10 there , 20 here, and so forth? Thanks
