Stan, would you be handling those 110-car trains intact, or in sections? BNSF does have storage capacity at Marshall. I've seen loaded and empty trains in the 50 to 70 car range run the P&L during the PCC era, but I wonder if 110 cars can manage the grades and reverse curves south of Marshall, south of Spangle, etc., without stringlining. I imagine a fair chunk of these cars would be loaded at Plaza.
