Abstract

Excerpts from the report: One of the principal problems in marketing grain is an inadequate supply of rail equipment for moving the grain, particularly during the harvest season. In recent years, serviceable boxcars have been in short supply for prolonged periods. Shortages have been serious in the class of equipment required for transporting grain. Some cooperatives have bought or leased covered hopper cars in an attempt to solve their marketing problems caused by the shortage of cars provided by the carriers. In the study reported here, the experience of these cooperatives in operating their own cars was analyzed, and the comparative advantages of owning or leasing the cars was explored.
