Class 1 railroads do offer marketing incentives based upon the size of a unit grain train. Depending upon the number of cars shipped from one origin (some roads allow smaller elevators or short lines to aggregate loads) to one destination. So, no they don't drop them off along the way if it is a true unit grain train. Incentives also require the destination unload the cars within a set time, usually 24 hours to qualify for the incentive. This is to keep the cars turning, an important consideration expecially in a year like 2003 with bumper crops and car supply issues. <br /> <br />LC
