They ordered a shitpile of lovomotoves and rolling stock for coal and metals... Been following this for a while. Their problem is huge expansion in product being hauled and not enough traction power to move it...


Next year they plan on adding more cars for grain.


They've also removed the rail freight cap for grain and replaced it with a crow-like subsidy for producers

where do RR order/rent/get engines from in both Canada and abroad? Does some rental outfit just have a bunch sitting around like chainsaws?

Yeah they will beat us that is for sure. Here we will still be talking about the problem 30 years from now.
