Railways , cars, MRE....did farmers get sold out.

[Saskpraireboy]

Much like the sask grain cars that were recently sold the cwb cars are leased to the railroads. They are free to haul what they like in them.
I have seen everything from lentils to corn to feed pellets in them.
Railways under this agreement are responsible for the maintance cost of which they do very little. Cars are of the age where major running repairs are required .Cheaper to lease different cars than send these to shop.
