    Not so funny. Another consumer company may be going belly up-or maybe just contracting for survival. Spotted Hallmark-anchor store for a local strip mall-liquidating today-a block I don't travel that frequently, especially with railroad renovation still going on a block from there. Whole store on sale, basically. Just starting. Bringing forward Christmas ornaments a few at a time on weekly basis for next several weeks. Demand pulled forward=no demand later. OTH, saw a long loaded train today-containers only. Haven't seen that many lately. Headed west. to the ports? I dunno.

    I live a mile from the tracks down my canyon....More trains bringing autos west, rather than east.

    I think the "unsellable" are moving to the high-populous areas for quick sales.

    Also, I see a few "empties" with those as well.

    I'll call my contact at UP and see what he's been up to.

    MORE TO FOLLOW!!!!
    If I'm curt with you it's because time is a factor. I think fast, I talk fast and I need you guys to act fast if you wanna get out of this. So, pretty please... with sugar on top. Post the IFT!!!
