[CBQ] Transload Facilities

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Transload facilities seem in many ways to be replacing the way frieght  for 
final delivery of products.
 
3 weeks ago I was in Birmingham and went through 2 facilities dedicated to  
transloading ethanol.
Loves truck stops have transload facilities for diesel and gasoline  that 
arrive in tank cars and then move to the stations in tank trucks.
 
There is a very large transload facility in Channahon,IL on a long spur off 
 the old ATSF main at Lorenzo that is primarilt dedicated to plastic 
pellets; but  last spring I watched them transload sulfuric acid from a tank 
truck 
to a tank  car.
 
CSXT has a big transload facility in East Chicago. 
 
Not sure if its still there but the lumber operation at Eola on the old  
scrap dock  was really a transload operation as the lumber came in by rail  
and went to yards by truck.
