[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ericsp [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Limitedclear Dupont Chemical, which produces both inbound and outbound loads [/quote] Nice. However, since these loads are probably shipped/received in tankcars and/or covered hoppers, the same cars cannot be used to ship out product that brought in raw materials (unless DuPont wants to clean them). How does that affect revenues, compare to say, boxcars loaded both ways? [/quote] Doesn't really matter unless car supply is a problem (it isn't). Any impact is simply in car hire and demurrage. In this case Dupont has a dedicated fleet of private mark boxcars and uses private mark tanks and covered hoppers for outbound shipments so a few days car hire relief and car supply from KCS or CN or even CSX is more than adequate. Oh, I should've mentioned that the new railroad, to be known as MIssissippi Gulf Railway, LLC will interchange with KCS at Hattiesburg, CN at Hattiesburg and CSX at Gulfport. Tomorrow, after work I'll fill in a few more details... LC
