I know they receive inbound wheat by rail but are they shipping anything outbound by rail?

Tried that last year. Shipped some flour to the Pringles factory. I think it took too long from what I heard. Maybe with the work they are doing there they will be better equipped to ship outbound.

From the article - "A $42 million expansion that is currently underway will add a new mill that will be devoted to hard wheat."
That sounds like good news for more rail traffic since the article stated that all the hard wheat is shipped in by rail from the Midwest. I can't imagine they're making that level of investment just for efficiency sake.
