Merger Potential of the Portland and Portland Junction Elevators

This paper analyzes the potential merger of the Portland Elevator and the Portland Junction Elevator in North Dakota. The potential for unit train shipments by merging Portland and Portland Junction is analyzed. This analysis only identifies whether rate savings are great enough to compensate for the costs of trucking grain from Portland Junction to Portland. It is concluded that there does not appear to be many compelling reasons to merge at this time.
