So sand is transported by rail alot all over north America. I suspect the cost per ton of salt is similar to sand. Rail systems are designed specifically for quick turnaround full loads of (I think) up to 53? cars in Wisconsin. I'm at a wake for one of our club members just now so I don't have my laptop for the figures on me
Iirc source is shipping sand for $55 per ton so I imagine that about half of this is logistics.
One thing to know at least in weimerica, like mining, railways aren't governed by OSHA, as they have their own governance. I would consider this when trying to make these calculations
Hope you fellas are having a lovely wkend
