Thanks
I guess what I’m more trying to ask, is it possible to have the rail haul to more locations and then have just more localized truck haul
For instance let’s say Walmart . Would it be economically feasible to load up a train from Walmart distribution center with tractor trailers loaded for individual stores? And then say install of them all being dropped off in Minneapolis and then trucked around the region the train makes stops like at Albert Lea and drops off the trailers for that store? Then, depending obviously on the rail route, same in Mankato, owatonna, Austin, etc? Run that all the way to Duluth and the range?
Just throwing out some ideas and looking for legitimate reasoning as to if it makes any sense or not and then why

^^ trackage now pretty much much is what it is, Walmart has a huge distribution center in Menominee Wi, so does Menards, Aldo in Faribault and Mankato, Target has a couple DC’s in the cities. Land for storage of containers and trailers is at a premium, I know two of the empty depots for container pay over 70k a month for there yards each one about 4-5 acres. The two rails are pretty much set where they’re at in Minneapolis and St Paul, there’s been talk of a super site for decades but it hasn’t happened.
Your idea is a wonderful pipe dream but the amount of equipment, space and right of way just doesn’t exist.

^^ oh I don’t know, maybe because besides Wacky Wayne, Ted Hindenburg and other assorted twits there are some good letters, posted by folks who are concerned with their community.
Who are you? Oh clown of the ass

Just a place for a minuscule amount of people, not enough to cover a gnat's arse, perpetuate the tired, antiquated, outdated False Left-Right Paradigm.
