It was dusk when I took a picture of the construction a little over a year ago, so it's a pretty lame picture. But here's another picture giving you an idea of how large the warehouses are near the logistics center in Columbus, and how many thousands of acres there are free on which to build. I think this is a Kraft warehouse, or some similar company.

Interesting. It's amazing what happens with high fuel costs. Go rail.

Do these new lines have tracks going up large hills so that little engines may learn lessons in perseverance?
