Canadian Pacific rail cars lined up last week to receive grain at the Farmers Union elevator in Wilton, N.D. FARGO, N.D.-Deregulation has been a popular theme in U.S. politics for decades, but a Surface Transportation Board hearing here last week on railcar shortages and service delays provided an example of how dependent rural America still is on a federal regulatory agency to push the railroads to provide vital services.

Officials ask federal board to help on rail delays
2014-09-05 03:41:17| Railroads - Topix.net
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple opened a federal hearing in Fargo about rail service delays in the upper Plains by reading a letter from a grain elevator that said Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. was 525 cars behind in its service.

That backlog has caused what Dalrymple told the National Surface Transportation Board on Thursday was an "emergency situation" - acres of corn, soybeans and wheat are at record levels in the Dakotas and Minnesota, but there's no place to move it.
