[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br /><br />In Niagara, trillium ships about 10 hoppers of grain to ADM in Port Colborne, 9 to 11 cars of corn and at least 9 empty corn syrup cars to Casco, about 30 hoppers of grain to Robin Hood. <br /> <br />They ship 3 or 5 empty sulfuric acid tankers to General Chemical in Thorold. In St.Catharines, they ship about 2-4 box cars to Interlake Paper, 1 depressed flat to Trenegy boilers works, 1 or more depressed flat to Feranti-Packard transformers, 1-3 tankers of chemicals to Kemira Chemical and 3 to 10 gondolas to Glendale (ex Newmans) metals for scap loading. <br /> <br />In Welland, the ship 1 tanker of chemicals to GDX Automotive, about 20 or more gondolas of scap metal from International Marine Salvage, medium transloading of mostly pipe and dimensional loads from Mel Jones Heavy Construction, and 2 or 3 covered two bay hoppers for Vasuvius. <br /> <br />There is at least 20 to 30 other businesses alone in Niagara, that would consider transloading if not direct spur which they would likely prefer transloading facility. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks Andrew, but I already have a railroad in mind. I'm actually fairly familiar with the railroads of western Ontario including Trillium Rail and Ontario Southland. Regardless, I am not interested in starting lines in Canada for a number of reasons. High taxes, high employee costs, high health care costs etc... <br /> <br />LC
