Let's go back to my connection with all this, my employer. To reinforce what Alf was saying, our
former GM in Eureka is now in Phoenix. Why? Because we're in the industrial distribution and
fabrication business and those items have pretty much left the Eureka market. To be sure there's
still business in the Cloverdale/Ukiah corridor and if the railroad reopened to Dos Rios there
would be aggregate business but it's really hard to pay your bills on maybe's. We find that
something like 75% of our large accounts have rail sidings, the same was true in Eureka, too bad
they're not connected to anything. I also find it interesting that my 14-16 cars, 3 days a week
quote from the last three years has become official!!!
