There's the possibility that North Dakota officials will start using the RailRunner bi-modal technology between Minot ND and the Twin Cities to ship containerized ag products. Here's the link: <br /> <br />http://www.minotdailynews.com/news/story/023202005_new3news2.asp <br /> <br />The distance between Minot and the Twin Cities is within the scope of applicability projected by RailRunner. The question arises though - Are these containerized shipments bound for Gulf and/or East Coast ports, or do they include transport to the PNW? If the latter, doesn't both BNSF and CP run intermodal between the Twin Cities and PNW via Minot, and as such can't one of them include an intermodal stop for such consists instead of forcing shipment nearly 400 miles in the opposite direction before the containers can start heading west? <br /> <br />If these shipments are bound for the South and East, then this application seems to be an apt fit for this technology. <br />
