hi guys, <br />Stumbled upon your thread here regarding Railex. I am Bill Collins, I work for Railex, and I will be running the Rotterdam NY facility. I am also an avid model (and obviuosly real) train fan. I'm glad to see you like our idea! Basically we are a 55 car unit train for produce of all kinds form the NW. We are starting with one train every 10 days and moving to 2 shortly after. (Prob 1st quarter 2007). The most amazing thing about the program is that our faciltiies will be inside and be able to offload/load 14-19 64ft super reefer cars at once. The train hold 200 truckloads as you know and will save an est 86000 gal of fuel per trip. It is a cutting edge design, concept and facility. Our Walula WA facility is actually situtated on a 17,550 ft loop track for faster loading. Look for hybrid locos after jan 2007, for switching duties at both plants. We are excited to get started, both buildings are nearing completion and first train is set to roll soon! <br />Bill
