Rail Issues

[FarmerSmuck]

Sounds like CN is starting to fall behind more and more. Local elevator has had loaded cars sitting on there siding for 2 weeks. And are unsure of pick up date.

CN has cancelled the last 3 trains to a location we are contracted to. They tell us that this close to Christmas CN is now a write off.

Mandate open running rights?

****en Hunter Harrison hang-over?

[FarmerSmuck]

Same as my local location. My local elevator is not booking until March/April now for new tonnes. Due to rail service. Could be a long winter for elevator guys. And farmers also.

So far so good no issues

[FarmerSmuck]

CP has been ok in this area. Gradually pulling their pants up.

Generally do around Christmas though. Holidays seems to be the only time they’re willing to move lots of grain.

Is it t rail , or line company b/S ?
They all like to point fingers at rail , and yes they may be right , but sometimes their sales incompetence hinders rail as well .
