Abstract

This analysis presents the results of a rail cost study for North Dakota grain. The purpose of the analysis is to describe the relative costs associated with various grain gathering alternatives. To that extent, four different levels of service have been analyzed: 1) 52-car single-origin; 2) 52-car two-origin; 3) 26-car single-origin; and 4) 26-car two-origin.
