It sounds like this will require a group of producers or producers in a joint venture with another grain company to buy the terminal.

Cargill sounds willing to sell their asset, it will take some work to get CNR on board.

It's worth the cost of demolition.

And it highlights why we need a railway regulator with teeth.

These are collusionary tactics by the graincos and railways.

To believe anything else is naive and history proves it.

When the Pool, Pioneer and Cargill closed the elevators in this area, the biggest farmers bought them and use them.

And are they loading their own producer cars? It's happening here....

Fjlip who are they shipping through and where are they unloaded?

[hobbyfrmr]

No they do not load producer cars. They haul to terminals. It keeps their men in wages full time. They use them for drying, blending, storage, and weigh station.
To be fair, rail service discontinued about 5 years ago. It went Branch line elevators closed. Then the rail service left about 5 years later.
