i would offeer a different way of looking at the question. <br />25,000,000gal of ethanol at 2.68 gal/bus of corn processed would mean a little over 9,000,000 bushels of corn delivered to the plant in what would probably be 50 hopper cars per train units. this size train will deliver roughly175,000 bushels. this is one train per week. the more important question may be what kind of back haul can be arranged for the entire product mix of the ethanol plant, ie, ddg(dried distillers grains/animal feed), ethanol etc. as well as the bulk storage capacity at the plant for end product accumulation and the market distance and size of end product users in the region.
