We have tried to market Wilson as a transload and have done a little there. It is a hard sale when the current box car customers are using inland 475 in Lewiston and getting both UP and BNSF access. And yes we would be saving the site owned by McGreagor on the north side of Pullman for a transload. And if no business is using it then car storage from Fallon to Pullman. And we have no stopped offering service there. This is not a done deal. If there is traffic down there we will go down and move it. The one opportunity we see would be hauling wood chips to to U of I. But they can not lock them selves into a long term contract so it makes it hard for the mill in Princeton to invest much in getting set up to handle it by rail.
