Wow...you guys know your stuff...this is fun...although it is like having 6 people asking questions at the same time to someone who would much prefer to speak than type. A few points: Yes, Albany is landlocked..LOL...however it is by design...think about it geographically, it is better to stop there both from a real estate value perspective as well as a location point. Albany is 3 hrs from NYC, 3hrs from Boston, 3 hrs from Montreal, 4 hrs from Philly, etc etc etc. You have only to look at our neighbors in the park to see that is a pivotal area: Fedex & Price Chopper. Nearby Hannaford, C&S etc etc. A truck being loaded directly from the train overnight can reach these DCs or a terminal mkt with 3-4 hrs making early morning delivery every time. AND custom loaded with multiple sizes OR differnt customers as well. Full car prices but custom truck loads, any receiver would love that. Individual store del are possible, but we are a platform much better suited to hit DCs and Terminal mkts. Silk train was interesting, I'd never heard of that. But the difference between this operation and a 40/50/s era 36ft ice bunker reefer car express train are significant to say the least. These reefer cars are brand new; Problems should not be an issue; However they are satellite CONTROLLED which means if we DO encounter a problem, it will be found very quickly and even if no service is avail, simply shutting the unit off and letting it rely on it's precool and insulation should be sufficient for such a short trip. Perhaps a tour of the facility will be in order once we are operating! If you guys can all get together I'd be happy to show you around. Regards, Bill
