Grain Cars

[Hopalong]

See hopper cars parked at end of rail line, first time in nearly two years.
Could be just temporary.
What do others see?

First they park the cars.

Second plug the elevators.

Third widen the basis.

Fourth create a crisis.

Fifth repeat.


It's simply collusionary tactics by the graincos and railways to promote the of the MRE.

I will try again. I am missing words again.

First they park the cars. 
 
Second plug the elevators. 
 
Third widen the basis. 
 
Fourth create a crisis. 
 
Fifth repeat. 
 
 
It's simply collusionary tactics by the graincos and railways to promote the removal of the revenue cap.

Elevators should be empty going into harvest. Ports should be reasonably full.

Cars should be quickly available to handle this crop. And basis should be narrow.

It won't happen.

We live along a CN line rarely travelled. Nothing unusual here, they are storing some pipe cars on a siding but not any grain cars.

Got about a mile of mt cab hopper bottoms on our little line here in the RRV.

Sorry, should be "old cwb hopper bottoms".
Auto correct doesn't understand farmer talk.

I see government and cwb cars now have CP prefixing the car number. And the old prefix ground to metal and painted over.

Check the numbers and the prefixes on the the cars parked will you samhill.

Just curious as to what gets parked.
