  • 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.

  • Missouri Freight Plan
    Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System Chapter 3 – Missouri Freight System KEY POINTS One of the key products of this Missouri State Freight Plan is a defined Missouri freight network. This is the first time Missouri has had a defined freight network. That is important for several reasons, chief among those: a proposed improvement project must be located on or adjacent to the defined freight network to be considered in the freight prioritization process. The top 100 freight generators in Missouri were identified based on truck activity. This information helped support the identification of the freight network and shaped the prioritization process. Freight and commodity flows underscore the role Missouri plays as a bridge state for the nation, as most freight travels through our state instead of starting or ending here. Introduction Missouri is at the freight crossroads of America. As the geographic and demographic center of population for the United States, Missouri is well positioned as the country’s freight nexus. Missouri’s freight system is a network of highway, rail, air, water, pipeline, intermodal facilities, and freight generators that together move goods and commodities. The freight system is how Missouri products like soybeans and aviation parts are transported around the world. An understanding of the key features of the Missouri Freight Network is integral to understanding the strategies and future goals outlined in this Missouri State Freight Plan. The freight system offers a range of service options. The best freight service for a particular shipment depends on the shipment weight, shipment value, the origin and destination, when the product is needed, security and safety, transportation costs, and customer needs.
