Where the heck did this come from. With the downturn in business, from lack of shipments. There is not a shortage of railcars for shipping.
Now for some background. These shipments are pulled from the Oshawa plant (after loading on the railcars) and moved to a marshalling yard for assembly into trains and block (organized, if you will) as to destination location.
These trains are then dispatched either to interchange points where shipments are given to other rail cariers or directly to the appropriate VDC if on the origin (same) rail carrier.
They are then moved to the receiving VDC's for unloading , inspection for damages, release to haulaway truckers and delivery to dealers. They don't sit on the railcars for any longer than necessary. Sitting on rail cars wastes time and money.
