CONT

Car allocation is important because there is a transportation capacity constraint during every crop year. Usually in a deregulated system, rates are determined by demand and supply of railcars for grain shipments. However, in the Canadian grain transportation system, non-price mechanisms allocate the limited transportation services among those who demand them.
