What a mess our nation's railroads are!
With the upcoming harvest out West (predominantly wheat), then the anticipated HUGE corn/bean harvest in the Midwest later this Fall, lots and lots of grain is gonna need moved.
There's 1 big problem though.
Lack of railroad equipment (engines) and capacity (rails) because of several things, the biggest being all the oil that's shipping out of Dakotaland.
I wrote about this back in May:
Here's an update:
If grain can't get to the millers, the cereal makers, the exporters..... our economy takes a hit. A potentially HUGE hit.
And the grain sits around, large amounts on the ground under tarps. Which leads to spoilage and waste.
Not good folks.
Out for now.....
