Change in Cu-Sum Loading of Unit Trains
Effective June 12, 2000, the USDA has made a change that increases the maximum size of the sublots used when loading cu-sum unit trains from 5 cars to 10 cars. This revision applies to any unit train of 50 cars or more.
Grain Inspection Handbook III, Inspection Procedures, Chapter 2, Inspection of Shiplots, Unit Trains and Lash Barges will be revised to accommodate this change in procedure.
The Federal Grain Inspection Service modified the handbook after members of the grain trade loading 110 car unit trains requested the adjustment.
| Carrier | Lot Size | Minimum Number of Sublots | Maximum size of Each Sublot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unit Train | Less than 200,000 bushels (Less than 50 cars) |
2 | 5 cars |
| Unit Train | More than 200,000 bushels (50 cars or more) |
5 | 10 cars |
