It actually may be a good thing, once the roads are made into toast then the only way they will have to ship is by train. I saw some guys up there working last fall when I passed through the area. Talked to a guy at a grain elevator at the time and he said that they were hopeful something was going to get started with rail soon. How deep is the snow there these days. I can't imagine what a pain it would be to handle grain in containers. Now you pour it in a hopper car and dump it out the bottom, dump it into a cargo ship and vacuum it out when it gets there, how simple is that??
