Re:(erielack) Shortage Of Railroad Cars For Hauling Fracking

Who is going to build these cars?  St.Louis? ACF?  Greenville? Berwick?

Or China?  India?  Korea?

Just wondering.

According to today's Tribune Chronicle there is a shortage of rail cars to   haul sand for Utica Shale drilling. It takes 35 cars of sand to drill one  well.  According to the Railway Supply Institute, the order backlog for  freight cars as  of the third quarter of 2011 is more than 65,000, triple the  backlog during the  same period in 2010.
