Before you throw MRL under the bus maybe read
the newspaper article Sam provided the link to.
Can any company afford to keep a line open for
a couple car loads. If you owned MRL I doubt
you would given all the cost factors.
As we come up on another MRL anniversary you need
to know that the timber industry, a major player for MRL,
is barely in existence here like it was at start up.
Combine that with a weak economy and the situation is not positive.
I would take a guess that if a customer were to make
a commitment to ship more cars with some regularity
I'm sure MRL would be listening.
