  • State Variation in Railroad Wheat Rates
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OJS at Oregondigital.org (Oregon State University / University of Oregon) JTRF Volume 53 No. 3, Fall 2014 State Variation in Railroad Wheat Rates by Michael W. Babcock, Matthew McKamey, and Phillip Gayle Wheat shippers in the Central Plains states have no cost effective transportation alternative to railroads. Wheat produced in these areas moves long distances to domestic processing and consumption locations or to ports for export. Wheat shippers in the Great Plains don’t have direct access to barge loading locations and trucks provide no intermodal competition for these movements. Wheat shippers in Montana and North Dakota are highly dependent on rail transport because they are distant from barge loading locations and intra-railroad competition is limited. In North Dakota, the BNSF controls 78% of the Class I rail mileage, and in Montana, the BNSF controls 94%. Montana ships nearly 100% of its wheat by rail. Unlike Montana and North Dakota, the BNSF and UP have roughly equal track mileage in Kansas. The BNSF has 44% of the Class I rail mileage and the UP, 55%. Also, both railroads serve the major Kansas grain storage and market centers. A 2010 USDA study found that in 1988, Montana and North Dakota had the highest rail grain revenue per ton-mile of the 10 major grain producing states. By 2007 this was no longer the case. The overall objective of the paper is to investigate railroad pricing behavior for the shipment of North Dakota, Kansas, and Montana wheat.

  • The Dakota Railroad Blues
    Prairie Perspectives (Vol. 11) 71 The Dakota railroad blues Alec H. Paul, University of Regina ([email protected]) Abstract: This paper highlights the present-day grain/rail landscape or ‘grailscape’ of the North Dakota wheat belt’s railroad branch lines. Its focus is the Northern Plains Railroad’s line from Thief River Falls, Minnesota to Kenmare, North Dakota, referred to here as the ‘invasion’ line. Canadian Pacific Railway’s Soo Line originally built it to invade the territory of the Great Northern Railway’s grain branches between the main line and the Canadian border. The basic purpose today is the same as a hundred years ago but the modus operandi is very different. NPR has an air of ‘patch up and mend where you can and retreat where you can’t.’ Its equipment and that of the grain elevators along the line is a patchwork of the antiquated, the middle-aged and the new. NPR is striving to survive in an era when moving grain to distant markets involves deregulated railways and a complex mix of other institutional, socio-economic and political arrangements. Yet despite the appearance of barely controlled chaos, the current situation in some ways represents progress. Local farmers are no longer so beholden to an alien railroad or grain-company administration in some distant metropolis. This part of North Dakota, at least, is moving forward even though it is still plagued by a modern version of those old railroad blues. Key words: railroads, shortlines, grain transportation, elevators, landscapes, North Dakota Introduction The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the grailscape of the North Dakota wheat belt’s railroad branch lines.

  • AIM Art 3 Determinations on Claims Revised Feb 13, 2017 Page 1 of 4
    AIM 3 301 Provisions of the Regulation See Part 320 of the Railroad Retirement Board's Regulations. 302 Determinations by Adjudicating Office The Railroad Retirement Board's regulations provide that each claim for benefits under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act will be adjudicated and an initial determination with respect to the claim made by an adjudicating office. "Adjudicating office" is defined as any subordinate unit of the Railroad Retirement Board that may be authorized to make initial determinations and reconsideration decisions. Offices that have been authorized to make initial determinations and are therefore adjudicating offices include district offices, the Bureau of Field Service (BFS) and the Sickness and Unemployment Benefits Section (SUBS) in Operations. The extent to which these offices may make determinations is stated in various articles of the AIM and is summarized below. 303 Authority to Make Determinations 303.01 Office of Programs – Policy and Systems (P&S) Policy and Systems (P&S) in the Office of Programs formulates and publishes adjudication policy in the form of adjudication instructions and opinions. Each adjudicating office making determinations on claims under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act is to be guided by the adjudication instructions contained in the Adjudication Instruction Manual (AIM) and the opinions of P&S. Although P&S is authorized to make determinations on all issues, the Director of Policy and Systems will normally make initial determinations only on the following issues: 1. Whether a strike or work stoppage against a railroad employer is a “legal” strike, and 2. Whether a plan submitted by an employer or company qualifies as a nongovernmental plan for employment or sickness.
