NORTH DAKOTA STRATEGIC FREIGHT ANALYSIS. ITEM III. SHUTTLE TRAINS

Investment in shuttle facilities and the ability of these facilities to utilize the more competitive rates in attracting grain has the potential to strongly influence future local grain flow patterns. As the local grain flow patterns adjust to new market signals, demands on the local grain gathering system must be addressed. The purpose of this component of the Strategic Freight Analysis was to provide market based synopsis of the potential impact of shuttle train shipments on North Dakota's local grain industry.
