Hopper Car Fleet

Was there any liability for the barbecue in Quebec?

And Tom good for you that you are getting cars. Maybe you didn't read the press release where the railways called car orders "phantom". You are also 400 miles closer to port so the railways can meet their obligations.

Nice winter so far but lower targets were set by the railways partner - the federal government.


BTW my local hasn't loaded a train for over a month. There is no sense signing a contract for delivery there because they can't have any certainty about movement.

Big advantage this year is the booking of deliveries over time, not the entire crop in two weeks like last year.

Its working much better this year then last.

Bucket, don't the graincos decide where the cars are spotted? Seems the graincos are intentionally backing up grain in parts of SK to drive basis down, force farmers to forward sell at lower prices in fear the grain wont move for several months? Doesn't seem like there is an overall shortage of cars this year, nothing like last year.
