Re: Viking Energy in McBain (GLC) in danger of closing
Does anyone know how many tons of railroad ties the typical gondola that is delivered to Viking Energy holds?

10 tons of ties and 50 tons of dirt.

I was told anywhere between 90-115 T depending on car size and how they are stacked. Of that, how much goes in versus how much is junk, dirt etc... idk

The spurs into the facility were extended this past fall. I'm not sure of the total car capacity now. They typically receive 12 carloads per trip.
