I dont feel that the three year goal of ten million bushels is unrealistic. There is a lot of competition for the traffic. The barges are always going to be cheaper but it is the truck rate to the river that is tipping the scales in our direction. Watco's shuttle will always be competion. With the hopeful agreement with BNSF there should be unit grain trains on the P&L this fall. Might not be to many this year but it is a start. With a growing ag traffic base. I think the traffic will return to the P&L but only time will tell. I'm trying to get those traffic numbers for you on the NP/BN days. Dave Smith give me a call sometime i would like to eat lunch with you again. Stan Patterson
