Where have you been? We have talked about this on AP and predicted this for more than a year. At least a year ago it was stated that SMART under political pressure would rid itself of the tank car storage, become a money losing operation, determine that there was little if any new shippers willing to use freight rail and at some point exit the freight service.Gain control of the Ignacio -Lombard segment and continue empire building eastward to Fairfield.
