For one operation, a stopped grind runs about one million dollars a day. That is roughly $42,000 an hour, every hour the railcars are not where they need to be.

Demurrage, storage, missed turns, lost throughput. The costs of unreliable switching stay invisible until they add up to a number no one budgeted for.

​

The Prairie Line exists to keep that from happening. Reliable switching, on schedule, so the grind never stops.
