Hey Teams BNSF and UP, are you interested in starting up a unit grain train service to the Port of Albany? It'd be a loads east - empties west operation, and I'd be looking to receive trains of 60-75 cars in length. Interchange would be Barr eastbound and Des Moines or Avondale westbound. Service frequency would be 2-3 trains/week. Anyone want to set something up?-Dave

Dave,There is a large grain storage facility in Avondale. Maybe you should go between there and Albany instead.Paul Metzger

Hey, the port manager doesn't care where the grain comes from, so long as it's quality stuff that he can sell!-Dave

Its funny how fast a discussion can change from Grain to some other narcotic Paul and I have already agreed on the Mt. Pocono Grain facility, I just need to get my butt in gear and do it. Does that facility load or unload cars Paul? I believe its unload???Chris Lee

Yes, Chris they unload grain at Mt. Pocono. They are a processing facility. I haven't heard anything about the outbound. I'll try to do a little checking.So then, we could send grain trains from Avondale to the Port of Albany, Seattle, and eventually Mt. Pocono. 3 destinations. Great.Paul Metzger
