Percentage of Wheat Moved Monthly by Rail

101 if the chart shows percentage moved for the entire year then it dont add up cause would need to average 10 percent. Must be percentage of total production. Or something to that effect.

[Hopperbin]

Ooops need more like 8.333333 or so. Ok makes sense.

I thought wheat would be interesting to chart for 2014 vs the ten year average.

Probably the most important thing it shows is that in 2014 seasonality was worse than usual. Big crops are not going to get to export positions if resources are not used efficiently.

Also they kicked er up 10 notches once they were told to get off their ass. Hmmm. So do we need regulation? What if no one put the pressure on?
What would have happenned? Overtime wages must have astronomical. Can it be possible to cross it with a chart that says they moved how much? Why are we so far behind today? I feel today like I cannot sell give away a working gps to a lost man. The lost man wants you to pay him. I heard on radio today cn dwell time is about 48 hours. Definition of dwell is after cars are loaded it takes cn 48 hours to show up to pull them away.
Cpr was well over a hundred. Did I hear correct?

Yep you heard it right hopper.

I think the least the railways could do is give elevators more than 24 hours to load 112 cars just from a safety point.

[Hopperbin]

An ellevator taking longer than 24 hours to load is unheard of here. They go hard here. Is it any different other places????

[bucket]

But what for? So the cars can sit for 2 days.

[Hopperbin]

Workers are local and work together in the grain ellevators. Pretty sure they have safety in mind and also getting the job done as one From what I see the local guys are doing great. If there are any problems it comes from higher up.

So if they're hauling 100% of the grain, where is the problem?

[Hopperbin]

Tweety on this chart they haul 100 percent of thegrain hauled split in12 months. Chart will average 8.3333333 per month forever. In reality they only maybe hauled 50 percent of grain grownAs some is trucked domestically or carried over. So is why I ask to overlay with actual tons hauled. Percent and tons very different.
