There loco power is a 44 ton & 45 ton .
Thanks for that, so just so I have this correct, are the containers being loaded or unloaded in the transload yard? If they are being loaded i gues they are going off landfill?
I don't thin they are allowed to put contaminated dirt into any land fill. I think it goes to a company that will clean the contaminates out of the dirt. The dirt is then used as clean fill, and the contaminates are disposed of in an appropriate manner.
