Wow, I see this changing who is running all the oil west now.. Rumors have been flying that the CP wants to interchange crude train at Eastport, this might just seal that rumor...

some further research indicates that the plant was never a productive ethanol producer.......reports talk about low price
of ethanol and high price of corn but as I remember it the plant also had some design problems. so it began being
a transload facility in November with tank cars coming in on the Portland & Western RR.
