I cast my eye across the USA and I survey the area between Armarillo TX, Garden City KS and over to Omaha NE. All Livestock and tons of meat plants. There are many lesser operations in the rest of the USA, but virtually everything comes out of one region. Hard Bitten Sunburnt truckers heavy on the hammer running that cattle to the slaugter from the farm is way faster than rail. Much more mobile as well. Try getting a rail car into this network and keep it productive in a timely manner. It wont happen. We must not lose sight of alot of things rail can do for the meat industry. They dont haul much cattle by rail. That is ok. What they WILL haul is feed stock, feed and grains, medicines, tools, animal fat out of there, guts going to rendering plants and other things that are important to support such a industry. You just dont have to worry about a 100 car stock train sitting in my town of 6000 people on a hot summer day stinking up the place and mooing everyone in the road while waiting on a red signal. Having said that, I am looking forward with some ancitipation at the BLI stock cars that supposedly makes animal sounds according to how you drive the train.
