Cornerstone Mineral's website currently says it has a reload in Klamath Falls ...

Cornerstone Minerals
In addition to the mill site rail spur, Cornerstone owns and operates a trans-loading terminal in Klamath Falls, Oregon which is served by the Burlington Northern Railway (BN), and conecting with the Canadian National (CN). Cornerstone serves customers throughout the West, Midwest, and Canada. Processed perlite is trucked from the processing facility in Lakeview to the trans-loading terminal.

That website mention of a Klamath Falls reload is not new, I recall looking at that website some time ago - about a year ago - and seeing the same wording. A review of Archive.org data for Cornerstone's website shows the same wording in 2009, 2005 and back to the earliest Cornerstone archive in 2001.
