We ship a tremendous amount of lumber via the CN railroad through both Detroit and Buffalo. The CN gives incentive rates to those two points where they own reload locations. The reload is where we send in railcars of lumber and ship out trucks. It helps them consolidate traffic from BC back to these points in the eastern US. In this way, it is similar to the oil trains where 100 cars start in one place and ship to one place 1500 miles away with no stops in between. From these two reload locations, we then ship trucks as far south as SC & TN.

I know a lot of oil moves through Detroit and Port Huron by rail and pipeline.
