    tom if almost 4000 cars were rejected would that not bring the total delivered and used to around 50 percent?

      A lot of incompetence if 3825 cars rejected for sanitary or mechanical issues.

      The transport minister Garneau better get on this!

        132 cars a week rejected, on average over 29 weeks... say average 7000 cars per week equals 1.9 percent. Should be a break down of which railroad by percent... would be helpful.

          5516 cars X 95 tonnes per car. 524020 tonnes for the week.

          Absolutely stellar performance.

          With this winter the stats are or should be unacceptable.

          But crickets......

            Warm winter
            Low oil prices
            Lower potash production

            Only 2 of 3 grain cars arriving on time??

              Is it 'ironic' that grain hopper car service decreases... after the report is released saying to phase out the 'Revenue Cap'...

              Kind of like folks are pushing on two ends of a string...

                The service has been the shits for the crop year.

                It didn't just start after the report.

                  If cars aren't cleaned out properly or lids and slides broken is that the RR fault or grain companies? Don't think Rr check after ever load/unload.
