We figured out pretty quick if a person does not have origination weight and grade, you will get the pickle. Overweight on a train car is worse than a truck. Railroad can change rules anytime. Make sure your lender has capacity and speed to meet margin calls if market goes up while you are waiting to exchange futures with buyer and power unit doesn't show as promised. Ordered cars can be 3 months late. But if rail company tells you 14 hours to load cars you have to perform.
