Global Agriculture & Food Processing Company
The Challenge
Under the previous vendor, rail costs, downtime, and demurrage exposure were creating
operational inefficiencies and driving unnecessary expense across a high-volume rail operation.
The Solution
The Prairie Line improved switching reliability, strengthened operating plans, enhanced reporting, and created tighter coordination between teams to keep rail activity moving more predictably.
The Result
The improvements delivered measurable financial impact, generating more than $14 million in customer-acknowledged savings over four years.
U.S. Ingredients Company
The Challenge
With the previous vendor, managing rail operations across multiple sites created inconsistencies in cost, reliability, and day-to-day execution.
The Solution
The Prairie Line developed and institutionalized a repeatable operating model designed to bring greater consistency, accountability, and efficiency across locations.
The Result
The standardized approach generated $13.7 million in savings over three years while creating a stronger, more reliable operating foundation across the network.
High-Volume Producer
The Challenge
The previous vendor was providing only 6 car spots per day, and the plant needed 12. The shortfall limited throughput and left potential production revenue untapped.
The Solution
The Prairie Line optimized operating flow, car turns, and crew utilization to make better use of existing hours and move more volume through the operation without simply adding resources.
The Result
Service rose from 6 car spots per day to 18, triple the previous vendor's level and well beyond the 12 the customer had asked for, turning underused capacity into measurable business growth and production revenue beyond the customer's expectations.
