They say it's not as bad as 2013....

But there are 3.+ mmt of floating space out at the west coast.

That isn't the port ....that's the vessel space.

I talked to a 30000 thousand tonne elevator ....they are plugged.

How do you plug a 30000 tonne facility when you can load 10000 tonne in 24 hours? ....oh yeah the train hasn't shown up....for a week.

same at our local pioneer. and they took in a bunch of tough canola trying to help farmers . this whole railroad thing is a joke . anyone that works there should be ashamed of themselves. if they can't keep up on a year like this they need to be changed out

But the longer the graincos can push the schedule out ...the better for the graincos.

Force guys to book later dates....not good.

so far so good but we just signed a nice size contract for dec movement on Canola and Wheat. How much you want to bet ill still be delivering in Feb!

Fidel Castro would have fixed this problem. We need joint running rights - competition will turn this train around.

But sf3

What's the sense in booking December and hauling in February. ...are they paying you storage or giving you a higher price if it goes up?


That just means guys that are booked in Feb will be hauling later as well.



It's inexcusable.

The grain co's don't make money by sitting on grain they've bought and sold, they make it on turnover. How is it better for them to have their terminals sitting full again?

That's just funny. ...not to be like trump but someone should call for a birther dna test on Trudeau. ... maybe oleary should start the ball rolling.

They don't have to pay more by pushing delivery later.

Durum is 12 bucks at West coast...the graincos are making good margins on every bushel.
