Oh forgot to mention the guy was also loading rail cars. So he unloaded me, wrote me a check, and was loading rail cars at the same time. It can be done.

I had a stint in Elk Point Alberta where
for part of it I was that guy as well.
Hard to believe almost 20 years ago.

Back to point of discussion, as recently as two
years ago railroads were telling farmers and
shippers that incentive was required to get them
to invest in capacity to handle grain.
Shippers and farmers could not agree on changes
to the revenue cap so nothing was done and here
we are today.
Expect we still have to endure more pain and
expense, just listen to howls of protest every time
ending revenue cap is mentioned.

Sad thing is what is the answer, $7 wheat at the coast ending up $3 in the pit??? Everyone down the 'line' making all the profit - we are screwed....
