    Abstract

    Country elevators competed chiefly through increased efficiency in grain handling and transportation. The development by the railroads of more favorable rates for multi-car shipments (unit train) has led grain cooperatives and other agribusiness firms to invest in high speed rail load out facilities. In this study the feasibility of an investment in a unit-train load out facility is analyzed. The impact of grain through put volume, unit rate transportation savings, discount rates, and grain-cleaning costs is also determined.
