I was driving last night around the relatively new local GM plant, where they assemble the silverado. The plant was built new during my 20 years out of the area, and I couldn't help but to notice all of the RR infastructure built to accomodate this plant. <br /> <br />Now I know that customarily, a private facility will have to pay a railroad a token sum for a spur in to their facility, then get nickled and dimed in perpetuity for "switch maintenance" fees and the like,....but, we are talking one whopping installation here, with what seems like a classification yard all in it's own adjacent to this plant. My suspicion is that this could not possibly all be at the expense of the customer, there simply is too much of it. <br /> <br />In this time where the impetus seems to be one of ripping up and salvaging the rails whereever possible, clearly the RR's have the money to build where there is promise of a quick buck in return.
