Tony --
Below is information we provided last week
to Adam Thiel in response to the same questions that you asked this morning.
The information noted as "current" reflects initial operations
and could change, depending on the level of business. We currently have
one train a day into and out of the facility. One tank car serves approximately
four trucks, so the current level of 16 trucks a day translates to about
4 tank cars a day.
I don't have an answer to your question regarding
the maximum traffic levels we would expect, because we can't predict future
levels of business. I can say that the maximum number of cars that can
be accomodated on the active transload track at one time is 20.
I hope this helps.
